Trainer Ed Dunlop and owner Lord Derby informed that they have decided to keep Ouija Board out of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot. They plan to run the mare in the Nassau Stakes on August 5.

“It's full steam ahead to the Nassau. It was a general decision as the plan was always the Nassau and to just look at the King George on the way”, racing manager Peter Stanley said. “The King George looks a pretty tough field, and this way it gives her an extra week.”

Ouija Board won the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and finished fifth in the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.
