But as Luck pointed out, the two King Georges run at Sandown were won by One Man and Kicking King. Both also winners of the race at Kempton and not exactly sloggers that needed deep ground.
It also would keep the race local and the people who go to Kempton would still be able to attend.
Aintree would have no problems staging the race from an infrastructure point of view but the low sun issue rules it out, unless the race was run at something like 1pm. I doubt ITV would be pleased about that.
