WITH Jan Brueghel perhaps surprisingly running in first-time cheekpieces in the King George today, you may want to clock Aidan O'Brien's record with this angle in Group races, and Group 1s in particular. The details are in here; tips.akbets.co.uk/tony-calvin-st…

COPY to follow in about 30 mins or so as unfortunately there have been large price changes since first draft (as is usually the case, for relative pennies - even KG has done just 43k and one York ITV race 4.7k), especially on one . Will tweet before it goes live, fwiw, good luck

WITH headgear stats now added (AOB apparent record with 1st-time cheekpieces in Group 1s is not great....). I'll slot the draws in shortly.

WITH all draws now added on pace maps. First draft of column done but copy will live after being freshened up/updated in morning after price changes etc, and when more money are in markets.

For anyone thinking Royal Dress should be carrying a 3lb penalty in 2.20pm at Ascot tomorrow, RP are missing out "after 2024" (as per BHA site) in their race conditions. So all good.
