Macarthur can defy odds
Macarthur can upset the formbook by landing the King George feature race for Aidan O'Brien at Ascot on Saturday.
The colt has won the Ormonde Stakes at Chester and Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot already this season and is 14/1 (various) to complete the treble.
To do so he must beat Ballydoyle stablemate Duke of Marmalade, who is odds-on favourite, and Mick Channon's fancied Youmzain.
