In the King George Lucarno is now 10/1 (from 25) having being shortened with Stan James for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes on Saturday 26th July after virtually making all under Jimmy Fortune in the Princess Of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket's July course on Thursday.
Stan James UK PR Manager Laura Stephens said: "Lucarno was quite impressive in the Princess Of Wales's Stakes and as a result he is now fourth co-favourite along with Ask and Mount Nelson at 10/1. We have left the runner-up Papal Bull unchanged at 12/1."
