O’Meara mulling QEII date for Lord Glitters
Ascot option open for popular grey.
David O’Meara is considering returning Lord Glitters to the scene of his greatest triumph, in next month’s Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot. The evergreen seven-year-old has been out of luck since claiming last year’s Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot, but he has run a number of solid races in defeat – including when finding only Addeybb too strong in the Listed Doonside Cup at Ayr on Saturday. O’Meara was satisfied with that effort and hopes Lord Glitters’ previous good form at Ascot would be a plus if he were to return to Group One company there.How was that for a start to the week? 👌

O’Meara said: “It was a good run by Lord Glitters at Ayr, and I was happy. I thought for a moment we were going to get there, but Addeybb just got first run on us. “Where we go next, I’m not completely sure. He is in the QEII, and we could go there. “Palace Pier will be very hard to beat, but Lord Glitters loves it there and he could pick up the pieces.”
