George VI and Queen Elizabeth

Qipco Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.

It is a different story, however,

with the Japanese runner Cheval

Grand. He may be seven, but the

chestnut horse, trained by Yasuo

Tomomichi, won Japan’s premier

mile-and-a-half race, the Japan

Cup, in 2017, and while he was

beaten 5½ lengths in last year’s race

by the brilliant filly Almond Eye, in

29 starts he has rarely been out of

the first four.

It may have the look of a farewell

world tour, but Oisin Murphy, who

has picked up the ride by virtue of

the fact that he rode 25 winners in a

10-week stint in Japan and is the

country’s favourite Irishman, says

the “big horse” should not be

written off.

Yesterday, before travelling to

Wolverhampton to continue hunt-

ing down Danny Tudhope in the

jockeys’ championship, Murphy

rode Cheval Grand in a gallop.

“His only run this year was in

Dubai in the Sheema Classic, when

he stayed on well to finish second to

Old Persian,” Murphy said. “I am

under no illusions about what he’s

up against, neither are the Japan

camp – Enable and Crystal Ocean

are the best horses in Europe.

“He’s very versatile, runs over

anything from 10 furlongs to two

miles and, at seven, has been there

and done it all. But we need to

appreciate Japanese mile-and-a-

half horses are of a very high stand-

ard. He felt good, but he only did a

normal everyday piece of work

over six furlongs on the all-weather

this morning. I didn’t ask him any

questions.”

Although the Prix de l’Arc de Tri-

omphe is considered the holy grail

of European races for Japanese-

trained horses, four have tried to

win the King George. Heart’s Cry,

Cheval Grand’s sire, came closest

when a length third to Hurricane

Run in 2006.

Murphy could also hook up with

another Japanese horse, the filly

Deirdre, in the Nassau Stakes at

Goodwood a week tomorrow, al-

though he has not yet committed to

the ride.

“She finished sixth behind Crys-

tal Ocean in the Prince of Wales’s

Stakes, but the ground went against

her at Ascot,” he explained. “She

came up soft, but she wants it fast.

Back to her best Hong Kong form

on her ground, she will definitely

be overpriced for the Nassau.”

Yesterday, Murphy, who will re-

turn to Japan for another 10-week

stint this winter, rode a double

which went unanswered by the

title leader Tudhope, who drew a

blank at Musselburgh. Tudhope

now leads by 78-73.

Speaking about his title chal-

lenge, Murphy said: “I’m doing my

best, but it seems like for every

winner I ride, he rides a couple

now. I’ll give it my best shot, but top

speed in racing is 45 mph and I can’t

go any faster!”

Murphy: Do not write off Cheval Grand
