Mr Brightside, Fangirl and Pride Of Jenni to renew rivalry in King Charles III Stakes
The $5 million King Charles III Stakes is shaping as a blockbuster with Mr Brightside, Fangirl and Pride Of Jenni set to clash again for the first time since last year’s Champions Mile, where Mr Brightside prevailed.
Golden Eagle winner Lake Forest joins the field under star Hong Kong jockey Zac Purton, while last year’s winner Ceolwulf returns to defend his crown.
Bjorn Baker could have a dual hand with Pericles and the three-year-old Within The Law, while Royal Patronage, Tom Kitten and Pier also line up.
Hill Stakes winner Lindermann and Autumn Glow are unlikely starters, with the latter instead targeting the Golden Eagle or Empire Rose on Derby Day.
