Hawk Wing's problems return

Aidan O’Brien will today attempt to work out the sudden loss of form of Hawk Wing after his star four-year-old performed miserably in Royal Ascot’s Queen Anne Stakes.

The newly-elevated Group One event was dominated by Dubai Destination who, at last, confirmed the promise of his juvenile year with a four lengths trouncing of Tillerman but it was the poor performance of odds-on favourite Hawk Wing which concerned the Ballydoyle maestro.
