Pretty Polly Stakes winner Bluestocking remains very much in contention for the King George Stakes at Ascot towards the end of this month.

Speaking at the Curragh on Saturday, after landing the Irish Oaks with the well backed You Got To Me, trainer Ralph Beckett said: “Bluestocking worked on the grass this morning before I left home and we’ll decide (on plans) later in the week.

“It depends on the weather and how we feel and so on.

“It will either be the King George or the Nassau or the Yorkshire Oaks or two of the three.”
