King George River poised tosweep away rivals

King George River gets the vote to land a fascinating Listed Coolmore Canford Cliffs Stakes at Tipperary tonight.

The Danehll Dancer colt made an excellent start at Gowran Park last month when, in spite of being slowly away and running green, put up a decent display to score by two and a quarter lengths.

An imposing sort, he has massive scope for improvement and the form was boosted when the second, Sugar Boy, and the fifth, Cest Notre Gris, went on to win minor events at Galway.
