FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Royal Ascot seventh AUTUMN WINTER should make the most of this drop in grade. Having shown up well in three maidens, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt was deemed worthy of a place in the King George V Stakes at the prestigious meeting. Staying on strongly having been short of room at a crucial stage, the three-year-old gave the impression he had more to offer. Only 4lb higher than for his recent Listowel win, Granite Bay should have every chance. The Jarlath Fahey-trained gelding is a thorough stayer who will appreciate a strongly run race. Dark Oak, runner-up in that aforementioned Listowel race, should get closer to her conqueror on these revised terms. Gary Carroll may well decide to make the running on the El Kabeir filly.
An extended handicap for three years old only (90 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
