Colm O'Donoghue could not be happier with Cape Blanco ahead of Saturday's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.
The midsummer highlight, sponsored by Betfair, looks like being one of the hottest renewals in years with record-breaking Derby winner Workforce and his stablemate Harbinger in the line-up.
O'Donoghue, who is replacing the suspended Johnny Murtagh on the Irish Derby winner, told At The Races: "I'm very confident and very happy with my horse going into the race. He's in great order, he's in great shape."
He added: "He has possibly gone forward from his Irish Derby run and hopefully he can put up a very good performance.
"Workforce is the Epsom Derby winner and a very good one at that. We have an awful lot of respect for him and I'm looking forward to taking him on again on Saturday."
In Cape Blanco and Workforce, the Classic generation have a golden opportunity of winning the race for the first time since 2003 when Irish Derby winner Alamshar beat Epsom victor Kris Kin.
