Australian raider Asfoora finished seventh in the Group 2 King George at Glorious Goodwood.
Trainer Henry Dwyer made a raceday decision to keep his star mare in the race despite the soft ground after heavy rain earlier in the week.

She started third favourite in the race but found herself back and off the pace early on. Jockey Oisin Murphy got her back to the inside rail and while she made strong ground over the final two furlongs, she never loomed as a winning chance.
The race was won by JM Jungle, ridden Jason Hart for trainers Sean Quinn, ahead of She’s Quality and Time For Sandals.
Asfoora will now head to the Nunthorpe Stakes at York.
