Sole powers to sprint glory.

Sole Power edged out South African raider Shea Shea to claim a deserved victory in a thrilling climax to the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Eddie Lynam's stable star has been knocking at the door in Group One sprints ever since springing a 100-1 shock in the Nunthorpe at York three years ago, and finished an excellent third in last year's King's Stand.
Shea Shea was the 11-4 favourite and appeared to have claimed victory when coming through on the far side of the track, but 8-1 shot Sole Power was produced to perfection by Johnny Murtagh, absolutely blitzing through the final furlong and getting up right on the line on the near side of the track.
