King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes CONFIRMED runners and riders for £1.25million Ascot blockbuster | The Sun

THE King George at Ascot on Saturday looks like being an unmissable blockbuster involving some of the world's top equine talent.

Epsom Derby third and subsequent Irish Derby winner Westover heads the pack.

But Emily Upjohn was a surprise addition to the line-up after the Oaks second was forced to miss last weekend's Irish Oaks due to a bird strike hitting the plane meant to fly her to the Curragh.

Mishriff arguably should have won the Coral-Eclipse.

The globetrotting John Gosden-trained superstar finished like a train only to be marginally denied by winner Vadeni.

That turned out to be David Egan's last ride on the money-making machine with Prince Faisal confirming ties with the jockey had been cut.

Here, Sun Racing looks at the field at the five-day stage and lists their odds below.
