Epsom Derby and 2,000 Guineas hero Camelot could take on Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden at Ascot next month. Both were among the 37 initial entries declared for the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes on July 21. Dunaden's first task will be the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot in a couple of weeks. Camelot's connections could decide to take the King George route and still attempt to land the Triple Crown in the St Leger, just as Nijinsky did in 1970.
