Godolphin set sights on QEII

LIBRETTIST and Proclamation will fly the flag for a buoyant Godolphin team in a mouth-watering renewal of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot today.

The ‘boys in blue’ have been firing in the winners recently and will be hoping one of their stable stars can provide them with a fourth success in this high-profile contest.

Having saddled Mark Of Esteem, Dubai Millennium and Summoner to lift the prize in recent years, handler Saeed bin Suroor certainly knows what it takes to win the mile showpiece and he feels his chosen pair will do him proud this time around.
