A maximum field of nineteen have declared for the 1M 4F King George V Stakes Handicap for three year olds. Chances can be given to many but it’s the London Gold Cup form that may hold up here. The winner King’s Gambit could be very good and is favourite for the Hampton Court later on the card whilst the second Poniros, third Chantilly and fourth Persica all renew rivalry here. The latter has already franked the form by winning well at Epsom but is now worse off at the weights so the pick of that trio may well be the Ralph Beckett trained Poniros who had a neck in hand of Chantilly that day. He looks sure to run well although last year’s winning connections of William Haggas, Tom Marquand and owners the King and Queen appear to have a a solid chance with their handicap debutant Gilded Water. He beat a well fancied Sir Michael Stoute runner in the shape of James Webb easily by 7 1/2L in a Chepstow maiden three weeks ago and could be well handicapped off of 92. In a tough race he’s the selection each way with additional places.
