George Boughey has yet to open his Group account at Royal Ascot but is hoping that statistic can be erased in the King Charles III Stakes on the opening day when Believing looks to take her exalted career to new heights.
Now owned by the Coolmore juggernaut, Believing made the perfect start under that banner when landing the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan in April, beating Win Carnation three quarters of a length and, in foal to Frankel, is likely to be having one if not her last races before enjoying motherhood.
The Classic-winning Newmarket outfit have struck three times in the past at the Royal meeting with Soprano taking the Sandringham Handicap last year along with previous successes for Inver Park and Missed The Cut.
Looking forward to the week ahead, Boughey kindly spoke to Tony Elves for attheraces.com about his prospects for the meeting.
