At the finish Ascot is pretty level, although is uphill for the first 1.5f of its short 2.5f straight. In soft ground it can get quite testing, and compared to US races, I'm sure more stamina is required to win over a mile there.

However, as I've said before George is certainly not lacking in speed, he was a blisteringly quick 2yo, and it is merely to his credit that he won over a mile in dead ground there. I imagine he would be capable of winning G1s from 6f to 1m.
