Workforce back in business

WORKFORCE is “progressing well” as connections build towards the defence of his crown in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in October.

Last year’s Derby and Arc hero was hot favourite for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot last month, but finished second to Nathaniel after hanging violently in the straight.

Connections later reported the four-year-old to be lame after he was struck into by the fatally injured Rewilding.
