King George Qatar Stakes (Group 2)

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
10th	1	13	Night Raider (G) FAV Had sometimes promised more than he delivered but gelding operation prior to reappearance has evidently made a big difference, dominating a Group 3 at Newmarket before overcoming a tardy start in Tem…	110060	James Doyle K R Burke	5	60.3kg	3.50 5/2
1st	2	9	American Affair (G) Group 1 winner at Royal Ascot last summer. Has run to that level just once this season after 11 months off (length second to Night Raider in Temple Stakes at Haydock on second start) but pulled too h…	020610	P Mulrennan J S Goldie	6	59kg	13 12/1
11th	3	5	Jakajaro (G) Shaped well when third in Stewards' Cup here last year and has much improved for the switch to front-running tactics this season, winning at Newmarket and York. More than held his own in Group events…	453084	J P Spencer R M H Cowell	5	59kg	5.50 9/2
5th	4	14	Jm Jungle (G) Made the leap from handicaps to pattern company last season, making most when narrow winner of this. Gradually coming back to the boil this year, close third in strong listed event at York 3 weeks ag…	035715	Jason Hart J & S Quinn	6	59kg	10 9/1
6th	5	2	Lamborghini Bf (G) T Prolific winner in Sweden but form is only useful and he's likely to find this level too demanding.	41-7111	Elione Chaves F Reuterskiold	5	59kg	34 33/1
7th	6	8	Partisan Hero (G) Has taken his form up a notch since campaigned as a sprinter and backed up his improved Sandown form (third behind Rumstar) when just edged out in Group 2 at the Curragh (length ahead of Jakajaro). W…	332700	Colin Keane D Loughnane	6	59kg	15 14/1
2nd	7	3	Rumstar (G) Won a nursery at this meeting in 2022. Unable to peg back Night Raider in the Palace House at Newmarket on return but is 3 lb better off with him here. Excuses at Royal Ascot next time and quickly ba…	201233	Rob Hornby J G Portman	6	59kg	7 6/1
4th	8	6	Asfoora (M) BT Three-time European Group 1 winner, landing the Nunthorpe at York and Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp last year. Just denied in this 2 years ago but she hasn't had the same spark so far this season.	1-00794	Oisin Murphy Henry Dwyer	7	57.6kg	15 14/1
15th	9	10	Azure Angel (M) BT Bounced back to her best when resuming winning ways in listed event at Bath in April. Better form in defeat since, close fourth under a penalty in strong listed race at York. Likely to find a few too…	150500	D Tudhope E Bethell	6	57.6kg	29 28/1
3rd	10	4	Time For Sandals (F) Surprise winner of the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last season and backed that up when close third under a penalty in this. Long way below those efforts since, however.	800340	K Shoemark Harry Eustace	4	57.6kg	15 14/1
8th	11	7	Aspect Island (G) P Struggled both starts in Group 1 company this season and benefitted from a return to calmer waters when close second in strong listed race at York. Vulnerable at this level, though.	300280	Billy Loughnane James Owen	3	57.2kg	23 22/1
12th	12	11	Brussels (C) PT Runner-up 3 times in pattern races last autumn and easily best effort this season when fifth in Group 2 at the Curragh 2 weeks ago, though without suggesting there was much more to come.	405075	R L Moore A P O'Brien	3	57.2kg	29 28/1
13th	13	12	Dickensian (C) Advanced his form when making a winning return in a York listed race. Not seen to best effect both starts since but needs another career best to be competitive here.	107039	Shane Gray K A Ryan	3	57.2kg	34 33/1
14th	14	1	Argentine Tango (F) Wasted no time getting back to form when winning fillies' listed event at Ayr 6 weeks ago but firmly up against it here.	661026	T Eaves T D Easterby	3	55.8kg	101 100/1
9th	15	15	Spicy Marg (F) Three-time winner as a juvenile. Highly tried first 3 starts this season but produced a standout performance when just edged out in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Might not have been over that …	1-83279	Tom Marquand M L W Bell	3	55.8kg	10 9/1
