Mi camp focus on George

CONNECTIONS of Coral-Eclipse disappointment Dar Re Mi are confident their star mare will bounce back to her best in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

John Gosden’s charge, owned by Lord and Lady Lloyd-Webber, was having her first start since winning the Dubai Sheema Classic in March and a lack of race fitness appeared to take its toll up the Sandown hill.

Having contested the early pace with eventual winner Twice Over, Dar Re Mi faded into fourth, but the owners’ racing manager Simon Marsh expects a better performance at Ascot on July 24.
