Sole Power's devastating acceleration came to the fore once again as the brilliant sprinter secured back-to-back victories in the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The seven-year-old was delivered to take the five-furlong Group One right on the line by Johnny Murtagh in a pulsating finish 12 months ago and Richard Hughes was the man in the saddle this time around, partnering Eddie Lynam's speedball for the first time.
Hughes rode a typically patient race and it was clear Sole Power (5-1) was still full of running entering the closing stages. Once unleashed on the far side of the track, the response was immediate as he quickened up fantastically to run to the lead and settle matters in a few strides.

Kingman rules supreme in Palace.

Kingman proved much too good for old rival Night Of Thunder with a scintillating display in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The John Gosden-trained Kingman was a hot favourite for the Qipco 2000 Guineas after blowing away Richard Hannon's Night Of Thunder in the Greenham Stakes, but the latter turned the form around with a 40-1 victory on the Rowley Mile.
