SUESA (François Rohaut/William Buick) may have fluffed her lines when sent off favourite against Dragon Symbol (Archie Watson/Oisin Murphy) et al in the Commonwealth Cup, but she showed why she was such a warm order at Ascot by producing a sparkling turn of foot to land the Group 2 King George Stakes, the 7/1 shot beating Dragon Symbol into second by a comprehensive three lengths.

Glass Slippers (Kevin Ryan/Tom Eaves), making her first start since the Breeders’ Cup last November, ran a cracker to be third, a total of four and a half lengths behind the winner.
