Missile Targets King´s Stand

Majestic Missile will head straight to Royal Ascot at York for the King´s Stand Stakes after being withdrawn from his engagement at Sandown Park last night.

Trainer William Haggas had planned to run the speedy four-year-old in the betfair.com Temple Stakes, but the colt suffered a setback.

'He wasn´t quite right this morning, but these things happen,' said Haggas yesterday. 'We will have to wait and go to Royal Ascot at York.'
