King on weather watch for Trueshan’s Long Distance Cup defence

Alan King may wait for the Prix Royal-Oak at ParisLongchamp if the Ascot ground does not turn in favour of Trueshan. Trueshan is 7-4 favourite to win the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup at the weekend. The weather is dry early part of the week before showers from Thursday.

Alan King may wait for the Prix Royal-Oak at ParisLongchamp if the weather does not turn in favour of Trueshan's Long Distance Cup defence. The weather is expected to be dry early part of the week before showers from Thursday. Tru shan is 7-4 favourite for this weekend's race. King wants to run him at Ascot but needs a break in the bad weather.

Tom Marquand will ride Perfect Power in the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes. Christophe Soumillon is suspended for 60 days. William Haggas may let Tom ride Tiber Flow instead. The weather is unsettled for Trueshan’s Long Distance Cup defence. The winner of the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot in June was trained by Richard Fahey. It was Perfect power's third victory at Group One level.

Richard is a bit sore. Raymond hopes the weather will break before the weekend. Rod Street would favour Richard if the ground was soft. Richard is fresher than most horses.
