  Andrew Balding is hoping a holiday break will give Alcohol Free the time she needs to freshen up for a shot at the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on Champions Day. Alcohol Free, a three-time Group One winner, disappointed in sixth when tried over a-mile-and-two-furlongs for the first time in the Juddmonte International at York last week.                      Andrew Nelis racing 

  Alcohol Free and Happy Romance are set to clash for a third time in Sunday's Dubai Duty Free Stakes at Newbury. The score stands at one victory apiece, with Richard Hannon's Happy Romance coming out on top in the Dick Poole at Salisbury before Andrew Balding's Alcohol Free turned the tables in the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket. The pair appear among 23 entries for the Group Three, registered as the Fred Darling and a recognised trial for the 1000 Guinea                               Andrew Nelis Racing
