King George Vl Tip

The King George Vl Tip for this weekends big Group One race is last years John Gosdens trained St Leger Winner Lucarno. We are prepared to take on hot favourite Duke of Marmalade on two fronts, one: Duke of Marmalade is unproven over the distance and two: Lucarno's impressive win at Newmarket. Add these vital credentials win to his undoubted fighting spirit then it seems obvious that he has the ability to upset the Aiden O'Brien Group One juggernaut.

The St Leger winner ran in disappointing fashion earlier in the season but looked back to his best at Newmarket when he made all the running to win in handsome style. His odds were immediately cut from 10/1 to 8/1 for the big race and at the same time ‘The Dukes' odds eased from odds on to even money.

Lucarno had Papal Bull behind him at Newmarket. Papal Bull is a course and distance winner having won the King Edward at Royal Ascot and his connections believe that they can get closer to Lucarno this time. Closer of course will not be any good and with Frankie Dettori on board knowing that he can take the field on from the front if necessary. There are few better front running jockeys than Dettori.
