Martyn Meade is ready to find out just how good Lone Eagle is when his stable star runs in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. The Galileo colt missed out agonisingly in the Irish Derby to Hurricane Lane, having made a bold bid under Frankie Dettori - who is keen to retain the partnership. 2:19 Trainer William Muir was left devastated after having to withdraw stable star Pyledriver from the King George at Ascot following a groin injury. Hurricane Lane took the Derby very well, and you'd have to say he has taken a step forward for sure. "He gets an attractive weight pull in the King George - as a Derby winner, he must have an obvious chance in the race."
