Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle shares her insights on the King George at Ascot, scheduled for Saturday, and provides an analysis of the weekend's top racing events at Ascot and York. Having a special affinity for Japan, where she rode for three winters, Doyle will be supporting their standout performer, Masquerade Ball, in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Takahisa Tezuka's colt has unfinished business with Calandagan after a narrow loss in the Japan Cup and has since finished second to Romantic Warrior in the QEII Cup.
With a feeling that everything is in place for Masquerade Ball to achieve a historic win for Japan, Doyle believes the colt can exact revenge, provided the uphill finish does not hinder his performance. Meanwhile, Moonrise is expected to enhance her reputation in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Japan Cup Stakes, leveraging her good attitude and track form to make her a formidable opponent. In other racing news, Hollie Doyle discusses her expectations for the Shergar Cup at Ascot, while also sharing updates on her rehabilitation routine following a broken left leg.
