Moore likely for Conduit ride

Ryan Moore looks increasingly likely to side with Conduit over stablemate Tartan Bearer in Saturday's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.Conduit was last seen finishing third behind Sea The Stars and Rip Van Winkle in the Coral-Eclipse, while Tartan Bearer was beaten just half a length in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.Both horses are owned by Ballymacoll Stud and while no final decision will be made until later in the week, racing manager Peter Reynolds expects Moore to be aboard last year's St Leger and Breeders' Cup Turf hero."A final decision hasn't been made but it looks as though Ryan is going to stick with Conduit and Mick Kinane will ride the other horse, Tartan Bearer," said Reynolds."It's not absolutely cast in stone and Ryan can change his mind at the last minute, but that's the way it is at the moment. It's Ryan's call at the end of the day as he's the stable jockey. I spoke to Sir Michael (Stoute) after they worked on Saturday and he was happy with both horses."They are both stepping up to a mile and a half for the first time this year so it's going to be interesting. I suppose it's better going there with two good chances rather than one and we are hoping for the very best."Stoute will also saddle Coronation Cup winner Ask, who is reportedly set to be ridden by French jockey Olivier Peslier.
