00:00Confined Maiden Stakes and they're off.
00:03Wetjard a little slow to stride but not as slow as Havana Smile.
00:07Fast away, New Monarch in the noseband on the near side of the white-capped Words of Truth.
00:13Harbour Lock in the all-blue jacket is next, followed by King of Thunder.
00:17Darkshore on the far side of that pair and they're followed by Wetjard and Havana Smile.
00:24So racing down through the first quarter mile over their six furlongs
00:28and it's New Monarch now with a half-length advantage over Words of Truth in second.
00:33Harbour Lock is close up in third from Darkshore.
00:36Then King of Thunder in the centre in the orange jacket away to the right Wetjard in the yellow colours
00:41and finally Havana Smile.
00:43The leaders are bunching together now, Words of Truth almost to level with New Monarch
00:47who's now nudged along.
00:49Far side Darkshore putting in a run, the grey.
00:52On the near side on the right Wetjard with Harbour Lock and King of Thunder with a chance as well
00:57as they race on towards the final furlong.
00:59It's Words of Truth that has taken it up in the hands of William Buick.
01:03New Monarch is switched far side trying to rally.
01:06Near side is Wetjard who's dashing home but it's Words of Truth by a length and a half to New Monarch
01:11and racing up towards the line.
01:13Words of Truth will win by about a length and a half from New Monarch in second.
01:17Back in third Wetjard on the near side and King of Thunder.
01:20Thunder away, the Sodexo live, Princess Margaret and they're off.
01:25And Aragambe just restrained a little leaving the stalls on the far side but albeit in fourth place
01:31as the lead is held by Fitzella early on.
01:34Very quickly into stride followed by Eskimo Pyre Midnight Tango who's racing quite freely.
01:39Two or three lengths then to Aragambe and Amber Rear on the near side.
01:43Dania of Dandy and Flowerhead and then Sikanya, Steyer and Bella Lyra in the orange jacket is the back marker.
01:49So the favourite leads the way here, Fitzella and O'Shea Murphy.
01:54But at least a length and a half to Midnight Tango and Eskimo Pyre who are disputing second.
01:59Another length and a half then to Amber Rear followed by Aragambe.
02:03Flowerhead is beginning to improve in the violet jacket on the extreme right is Sikanya.
02:08There followed by Steyer, far side in the blue and white jacket Dania of Dandy and then Bella Lyra.
02:14Fitzella now coming under a drive.
02:16Midnight Tango tries to challenge Aragambe.
02:19They switch to the far side with a chance to with Eskimo Pyre as they run inside the final furlong.
02:24Fitzella still leads.
02:26Steyer is running on well.
02:27Midnight Tango but it's still Fitzella who spearheads the field.
02:32Bella Lyra with a late run as well.
02:34But Fitzella is going to hold them all in the Princess Margaret.
02:38Tight for second.
02:38Bella Lyra on the far side of Steyer.
02:41Then Midnight Tango.
02:42Valiant stakes and they're off starting out from the mile start on the round course.
02:48Cajol was well away.
02:49Bermuda Longtail in the nose band.
02:51Up the inside American Gal is forward.
02:54Chantilly Lace is right on the fence in the black and white and might just come through to lead them all now.
03:00And it's Chantilly Lace and Hector Crouch that goes on into the lead from American Gal.
03:05Bermuda Longtail in the pink cap is three wide.
03:09Cajol just in behind these under William Buick in the Chively Park stud colours taking a bit of a hold.
03:14Then Royal Dress on the fence white with the red sash.
03:17Followed further back by Lulu's Gift and Glittering Surf.
03:20And then Jancis and Cheshire Dancer is the back marker.
03:23They're on their way towards the fourth furlong point from home.
03:28And that'll be the halfway stage in this Group 3 prize for fillies and mares.
03:32And it's Chantilly Lace that leads the way to American Gal in seconds.
03:36They begin the turn.
03:37Royal Dress back on the inside.
03:39Out wide Bermuda Longtail.
03:41Cajol is between runners.
03:43Then a couple of lengths back to Lulu's Gift and Glittering Surf.
03:46And Jancis and Cheshire Dancer.
03:48They're inside the three and they turn for home.
03:51Chantilly Lace on the far side.
03:52Just the leader.
03:53American Gal is right there for Mikel Barcelona.
03:56Cajol is trying to reel them back on the outside.
03:59They're chased by Royal Dress.
04:01Chantilly Lace coming under a strong drive.
04:03American Gal.
04:04Cajol looking to the outside.
04:06Jancis is running on well in the black cap with Cheshire Dancer inside the final furlong.
04:12American Gal on the near side.
04:14Cheshire Dancer Jancis.
04:16Chantilly Lace still pitching on the far side.
04:18It's going to be really tight.
04:20American Gal on the near side.
04:22Cheshire Dancer.
04:23Oh, it's tight.
04:24Cheshire Dancer near side.
04:26American Gal.
04:27Far side.
04:28Chantilly Lace.
04:29And they're off racing.
04:32And very slow to begin.
04:33Lorberti on the near side.
04:35And on the far side, Kazak very slow away.
04:37Array broke out well.
04:39Far side chased by City House and Pals Battalion.
04:42And Cody Lyon is now trekking across towards the centre with Classic who's recovered well.
04:48And the near side, Northern Express with Noble Truth who's pulling very hard in the diamonds.
04:52Golden Mind is handy from Yorkshire, then Classic, followed behind these by Cody Lyon and Zoom Zoom and Two Tribes.
04:59And then fresh in the dark blue and maroon and Acadian Thunder, the favourite in the second half of the field from Billy Joe.
05:05Under a drive is Alameen.
05:07Further back is Sword with Galeron.
05:10At the back of the pack, Lord Alto.
05:11Alto, Lord Bertie I should say.
05:13Alto in the blue with the orange armlets to the left of the main group with Surulean Bay.
05:18Chased by Kazak.
05:19But it's Northern Express, last year's winner, that probably holds sway from Golden Mind and Yorkshire on the right.
05:25Then Classic, they're chased by Noble Truth and Zoom Zoom.
05:28And Cody Lyon begins to stay on.
05:31Isolated on the far side, Array, Pals Battalion and City House.
05:35They enter the final two furlongs now.
05:37Northern Express challenged on all sides.
05:39Cody Lyon with Golden Mind.
05:41Classic comes through strongly.
05:43In behind them is Sword weaving around.
05:45And Two Tribes down the near side.
05:47Probably the fastest of all.
05:49And it's Two Tribes that picks it up now.
05:51From in second place, Classic.
05:53Then Sword and Golden Mind.
05:54And it's Two Tribes who lift the international.
05:57From Classic, Sword in third.
05:59Fighting it out for fourth was Cody Lyon and Golden Mind.
06:03And then Northern Express.
06:06And they're off racing.
06:07Oh, an awkward jump from Fearnock.
06:09Jumped in the air in Stool 17.
06:11A little bit slow to stride.
06:13Sisyphean well away on the far side.
06:15Ryan Moore is looking across, or was looking across.
06:17He might try and get down the centre.
06:19The centre group is headed by the favourite bullet point.
06:22Followed by Taroum.
06:23Close up, Whitcomb, Rockstar and Talis Evolver on the extreme right.
06:27On the near side now, Competizione in the green and white striped jacket.
06:32Madame de Savigny is pulling very hard.
06:34Taroum is tracking Sisyphean down the centre.
06:38Duke's command on the far side.
06:39Further back in the field then to Supedo.
06:42Taroum on the near side.
06:43Green and white diamonds.
06:44Mythical guest further back with Hawksbill and Cozy Bello.
06:48And then Beau Pedro.
06:49Fear not on the right in the purple cap.
06:52And at the back of the field is Hickory.
06:53It's bullet point that just shades the advantage to Sisyphean.
06:57Taroum is close up third on the far side.
07:00Then Competizione and Whitcomb, Rockstar.
07:02Cogitate behind these.
07:04Duke's command and Talis Evolver.
07:06Aaron Tarkan and Supedo and Madame de Savigny and them behind those mythical guests.
07:10And fear not as they race on now towards the final two and a half furlongs in the Betfred Handicap.
07:15Bullet point on the right pink jacket.
07:17Away to the left, Taroum.
07:19Within the spotted cap is Sisyphean coming through Cogitate.
07:23Behind these Competizione, Tarkan up the rail.
07:26Bullet point's going to have to dig in here.
07:29Cogitate is coming hard at him.
07:31Then on the far side, Cozy Bello with a run in the red sleeves.
07:34It's still bullet point.
07:36Fear not finishing strongly though on the stand side.
07:39Fear not from the back of the field who ran so well in the Britannia.
07:43Fear not from bullet point as they race to the line.
07:45Fear not and bullet point.
07:47Fear not bullet point.
07:48Hickory flying home in third.
07:50They were clear of Cozy Bello.
07:52The King Jaws, the sixth and Queen Elizabeth stakes.
07:55And they're off.
07:56Now continuous in the purple and white stripes.
07:59Just leads early but it looks slow.
08:01Jan Bruegel is right with him, his stable companion.
08:04Then Rebels Romance in the blue jacket on the inside.
08:07Kalpana is out wide.
08:09And the favourite Kaland again at the rear of the field.
08:12And Jan Bruegel it is who makes the running fractionally ahead of Continuous.
08:16The assumption was that Continuous would lead but not so far.
08:20And they've crawled through the first couple of furlongs down the hill towards Swinley Bottom.
08:25Continuous keen on the outside of Jan Bruegel.
08:28Then Kampala, Rebels Romance getting cover on the inside.
08:33And Kaland again at the rear of the field as they race on now towards the mile marker.
08:38Jan Bruegel and Ryan Moore on the inside of stable companion Continuous and Wayne Lorden who won't settle.
08:44Rebels Romance and William Buick in third.
08:47Kampala and Oshin Murphy in fourth place.
08:49And then Kaland again and Mikel Barcelona.
08:52Jan Bruegel going on now.
08:54Oshin stays very well and they're about to meet the rising ground inside the final seven furlongs.
09:00Jan Bruegel from Continuous.
09:02Rebels Romance.
09:03Kalpana the filly.
09:05Two lengths to the favourite Kaland again.
09:07And now they're racing on towards the final six furlongs.
09:11They've passed the six and they're heading on towards the five in the King George.
09:15And gradually Ryan Moore is winding it up.
09:17He's turning on the tap aboard Jan Bruegel.
09:20Still just a half length to in second place Continuous.
09:24Rebels Romance.
09:25Then on the outside Kalpana.
09:27And still Mikel Barcelona waits.
09:29He waits and waits on Kaland again as they run now towards the final right hand sweeping bend.
09:35Jan Bruegel.
09:36Moore just nudging away in front from Continuous who still travels strongly in second.
09:41Rebels Romance.
09:41Kalpana.
09:42And a very patient ride on Kaland again.
09:45Last of the five.
09:46They're now homeward bound.
09:47He gets increasingly emanated on Jan Bruegel.
09:51Coming round them is the filly Kalpana.
09:53Between them Continuous.
09:54Rebels Romance.
09:55A little short of room.
09:57Can't get through.
09:58Kaland again is stalking.
10:00Kalpana sets sail.
10:01Outpaces Jan Bruegel.
10:03Kaland again coming after the filly.
10:05Kalpana has quickened up tremendously.
10:07Can Kaland again reel her in here?
10:10He's getting a bit closer.
10:11Inside the final furlong.
10:13Kalpana from Kaland again.
10:15Kaland again is a half length.
10:17Now it's just a neck.
10:18Now it's a nose.
10:19And the French horse goes on.
10:21And Kaland again wins the King George.
10:24Wall down Kalpana.
10:26It's time for...
10:26Over a mile and a half.
10:30And they're off.
10:32And away pretty much on terms in the early stages.
10:36Tenability and quite to pull for his head a little bit.
10:39And being restrained by Toma Comet.
10:41But going forward certainly with Correidu King in the blue and red jacket on the inside.
10:46Criminal is a hard puller as well in these early stages running down the hill.
10:50Hackney Diamonds and the green cap on the outside.
10:53The grey Bohemian Breeze against the fence from Bel Carmo and Venezuelan.
10:59And another steady run affair here with one or two runners getting in the way of each other.
11:03It's Correidu King from Tenability.
11:06Followed by Criminal.
11:08Then on the outside is Hackney Diamonds and Billy Loch Nann.
11:11And also wide, Bel Carmo wide of Tom Quealy's Mount Bohemian Breeze.
11:16And finally at the back is Venezuelan.
11:20Racing now into Swinley Bottom.
11:22They've passed the mile marker.
11:24And Correidu King the Haydok winner by a length and a half to the Windsor winner Tenability in second.
11:30Criminal is third then from Hackney Diamonds.
11:32Bohemian Breeze, Bel Carmo on the outside of Venezuelan.
11:36Heading now up the hill and on towards the final six and a half furlongs.
11:42Correidu King out in front under Rab Havlin.
11:46Tenability.
11:47Stalking in second.
11:49Criminal is third against the fence.
11:51Followed by Hackney Diamonds, Bohemian Breeze, Bel Carmo.
11:55And finally Venezuelan still held up by Ketzer Crouch at the rear of the field.
12:00On their way now they're passing the five furlong marker in this Me Too club handicap.
12:05And Correidu King from Tenability moving up quite well on the outside.
12:11Then Criminal in third.
12:13Followed by Hackney Diamonds, Bohemian Breeze.
12:16Then Bel Carmo.
12:18And still no move from Venezuelan as they run into the final turn.
12:22Now this long turn and approaching the three furlong marker.
12:25Correidu King is allowed to stride on in front.
12:28A length ahead of Tenability in second.
12:30Hackney Diamonds coming round runners.
12:32Followed by Criminal and Bohemian Breeze and Bel Carmo and Venezuelan.
12:36Criminal a little bit short of room there.
12:38Held in by Hackney Diamonds.
12:40Tenability trying to chase down Correidu King.
12:44It's Correidu King by a half length to Tenability.
12:47Hackney Diamonds in third and then Criminal.
12:49Tenability is getting on terms now with Correidu King.
12:52And goes on.
12:53It's Tenability passing the furlong marker that struck the front from Correidu King.
12:58Criminal stays on well behind these.
13:00Will probably get up for second but won't catch this leader.
13:03And Tenability runs out a decisive scorer.
13:06From in second Criminal.
13:08For the Miners.
13:09By cover up and Toka Madeira, Warhampton.
13:13Azur Angel.

13:35Cover up challenging now in the Blue Seas.
13:37Oh and cover up comes sweeping on by.
