O'Brien has the Power in Palace.

Power is the number one hope for the Aidan O'Brien stable in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot as the Ballydoyle trainer bids for a seventh win in this prestigious contest.

Last year's Coventry Stakes hero put a poor performance in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket behind him when winning the Irish equivalent. He was ridden that day by the trainer's son Joseph O'Brien, who is in the saddle once again.
Ortensia chasing Stand glory.

As Australia watches the every move of Black Caviar at Royal Ascot this week, the Antipodean raid on the big meeting gets under way on the opening afternoon with Ortensia in the King's Stand Stakes.

Behind Diamond Jubilee Stakes-bound Black Caviar at Flemington in November 2010, the mare has hit the headlines in her own right since joining trainer Paul Messara, winning the Al Quoz Sprint in Dubai on World Cup night.
Hannon aims quartet at Coventry.

Richard Hannon has high hopes of his team of four as the Marlborough trainer bids to add to his tally of three Coventry Stakes wins at Royal Ascot on Tuesday.

With Rock City (1989), Canford Cliffs (2009) and Strong Suit (2010) on the roll-of-honour in this two-year-old feature, Hannon looks to Sir Prancealot, The Taj, Olympic Glory and Master Of War to give him another victory.
