Golden Horn set to run in King George

Golden Horn will “definitely” run in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday week as long as conditions are suitable, said owner Anthony Oppenheimer.

Connections of the Investec Derby winner said they would monitor the colt’s well-being before committing to the esteemed Group One after he secured victory in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown on July 4.

Trainer John Gosden and Oppenheimer are now happy to run the son of Cape Cross at Ascot under the proviso that the ground does not get too demanding.
