1529875 1 1 3YO plus 16:10 Ascot 26 Jul 2025 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes £850,650 1m 3f 211y Good-good to firm in places null Strong Calandagan had to wait a while for his first Group 1 success, but, when finally arriving, it could hardly have come any easier in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Francis-Henri Graffard's gelding merits plenty of respect as the trainer looks to win this prestigious race two years on the bounce, but it is his Epsom conqueror, JAN BRUEGHEL, that gets the nod. The son of Galileo outbattled the former in the Coronation Cup and should the pair become embroiled once again, it is difficult to envisage that form being reversed. Kalpana finished an excellent second in the Pretty Polly last time out and is likely to benefit from a return to further based on her Fillies & Mares success on Champions Day. A smaller field than usual and no 3yos either but still an absorbing clash, with all five Group 1 winners. JAN BRUEGHEL showed considerable tenacity to wrest victory away from the challenging Calandagan at Epsom last time and though the margin was narrow (and, as such, confidence here cannot be sky-high), the more progressive profile of Aidan O'Brien's still lightly-raced second-season 4yo swings the vote decisively in his favour. First-time cheekpieces may well help put a greater edge on him too. Calandagan has since won well in a Group 1 in France and, with little to find on the bare form and with a proven liking for this track, is next best ahead of the thoroughly admirable Rebel's Romance, who doesn't have very much to find and, as ever, is likely to give it his all.
