Cima not certain to take George chance

Connections of Cima De Triomphe have yet to make a firm decision whether the four-year-old will take his chance in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.The Galileo colt has enjoyed a fine start since joining Luca Cumani at the start of the season, winning the Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown before running a creditable fourth in the Coral-Eclipse.He would be tackling a mile and a half for the first time since joining the Italian if he does line up at the weekend, but Cumani does not envisage the trip being a problem."We're not sure what we are going to do yet and we are still debating with the owner whether he is going to run or not," said Cumani."The horse is fine and everything has gone well since the Eclipse, but we just have to make a decision what we are going to do later in the week. If we do take our chance the step up to a mile and a half won't be a problem as he has always shown that would be fine for him."One always hopes he can improve as the year progresses, but obviously he needs to. If he does take his chance at the weekend the plan would be for Christophe Lemaire to ride him again."
