2008 King George VI Betting Odds
The 2008 King George VI betting odds sees the brilliant Prince Of Wales's Stakes winner Duke Of Marmalade is the 11/10 favourite (from 6/4) with Stan James at Ascot on the 26th July. With both the Derby winner New Approach and former Irish Derby winner Soldier Of Fortune continue to drift in the betting and there must be a major doubt about their participation in light of recent developments.
More immediately another Ballydoyle inmate Mount Nelson has been well backed (7/2 from 4s) ahead of Saturday's Coral Eclipse at Sandown Park. Henry Cecil's Phoenix Tower who has finished runner up in his last two starts in Group 1 company is the 7/2 favourite with Stan James for Saturday's Coral Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park.

Head of PR Charlie McCann:" The next acceptance stage for the King George is noon on Tuesday 8th July and punters may know more about the makeup of the event after that date, but we have seen good support for this season's triple Gp1 winner Duke Of Marmalade and the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winner Youmzain who is 4/1 from 5s this morning. There is also a supplementary stage for the contest on Monday July 21st. The Classic generation is headed by Tartan Bearer at 8/1 and the hope is that there is a strong challenge by the three-year-olds who have not won the prestigious prize since Alamshar in 2003."
