Having bombed out in last season’s King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes, Emily Upjohn can set the record straight by seeing off a stellar line-up in this year’s Ascot showpiece.

When the John and Thady Gosden-trained filly went to post for last year’s King George, she did so having finished a somewhat unlucky second to Tuesday in the Oaks on her previous start.
