A SMALL but select field went to post for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday and it saw Adayar produce a huge performance to join the exclusive club of three-year-olds to add the Group 1 prize to the Derby, a feat last achieved by the mighty Galileo.

The early stages of the race influenced the race more than the middle section as Broome dwelt when the stalls opened, with both Adayar (127) and Love (121) jumping smartly.
