French raider Calandagan finally got his Ascot revenge for his defeat in the Coronation Cup landing the King Goerge.
It wasn't the smoothest of races as Jan Brueghel took the lead instead of Continuous and Rebel's Romance got boxed in on the rails but when they finally got into the straight it was Calandagan in the end who had the last laugh with Kalpana running a great race to take second and Rebel's Romance third.
Earlier the Princess Margaret went to Fitzella 7/2 for Hugo Palmer and Oisin Murphy with Staya a length away second and Bella Lyra 14/1 third.
Dance To The Music was scratched so the race finished up with ten runners.
It was double time for Hug Palmer as Cheshire Dancer won the Valiant with the jockey this time being Billly Loughnane. They were on 22/1. Second went to American Gal on 15/2 and third Chantilly Lace. Our roughie Pina Sonata was scratched.
