Ascot racing tips with the King George VI Stakes: Westover and Emily Upjohn lead market for Classic on spectacular Saturday meeting
Ascot hosts the incredible King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes this Saturday afternoon among three group contests and top class races.
The Group 1 Classic, a part of the British Champions Series, is a 1m4f trip and a great follow up to the Derby at Epsom Racecourse that was won by Desert Crown in June.
Westover who was arguably quite unlucky in the running at the Derby is the clear favourite with Desert Crown ruled out.
He justified his potential by taking the Irish Derby by seven lengths, which he absolutely bolted up in but arguably against weaker Group 1 company.
Emily Upjohn could finally make her reappearance for the first time since being unlucky in the Oaks in June and was ruled out of the Irish Oaks due to travel issues, so could come into this fresh and ready.
So who is set to win the British Classic?
King George VI Stakes Betting Tip
Westover 11/8 & Straight forecast with Emily Upjohn
The Juddmonte colours adorn the Ralph Beckett-trained horse and it's likely he will surely make yet another good account this weekend at Ascot.
But they also have other stiff competition - with 15 runners holding early entries.
This is also open to fillies and mares which allows Emily Upjohn to make another bold bid, after being unlucky in the Oaks at Epsom.
John & Thady Gosden's horses have been flying home recently and that could be a sign of things to come with Frankie Dettori set to be back on board.
Emily Upjohn will receive 3lb from the colts and geldings which gives her a chance at competing over this distance but at odds of 5/2 both front runners are the most appealing.
