Alamshar is reported to be in fine fettle this morning after his brilliant win in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot.

John Oxx's star was a three-and-a-half length winner over Sulamani yesterday, with Vodafone Derby winner Kris Kin back in third.

Connections have indicated that he may drop back to a mile and a quarter next time in the Ireland the Food Island Champion Stakes at Leopardstown, before a possible trip to America for the Breeders' Cup Turf.

Oxx's wife, Caitriona, said this morning: "He's brilliant. He travelled home perfectly and there was absolutely no problems. He's in great form this morning."
