Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 18, 2021 Journalists Share Posted June 18, 2021 After Mohaafeth (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) had provided William Haggas with solace for having to watch the G1 Epsom Derby take place without his star colts, M M Stables' Alenquer (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}) also came to Royal Ascot to add further consolation in Friday's G2 King Edward VII S. There is no doubt he would have played a major role in this year's blue riband on the bare form of his defeat of Adayar (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) in the Apr. 23 G3 Sandown Classic Trial, but after a subsequent setback this was the path he was set upon and he duly regained all his momentum. Always comfortable racing in rear in the rain-soaked ground, the 13-8 favourite was sent forward to tackle Tasman Bay (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) inside the final two furlongs and he was in command passing the furlong pole. At the line, he had 1 1/2 lengths to spare over that imposing rival, with Title (GB) (Camelot {GB}) 2 1/2 lengths back in third.
