King George dilemma for Pyledriver camp with Dettori set to ride Emily Upjohn

Pyledriver is a 16-1 chance for the King George. Frankie Dettori will ride him in the Ascot Stakes. Emily Upjohn will take his place in this weekend's Juddmonte Irish Oaks. Westover is the favourite at 5-4. The horse is in good shape. The trainer is relaxed about the situation. He is pleased with the horse's performance in Irish Derby. Pyled River won the Coronation Cup last year. John Gosden's horse, The Queen's Stake winner, is also a favourite. It is not a good bet. There are several jockeys interested in Pylriver's ride.
