Emirates World Champion Fantastic Light put in another outstanding performance to lift the Group One Prince Of Wales Stakes on the second day of Royal Ascot and is now a red hot 7-4 favourite to continue at his favourite track by picking up the King george VI Diamond Stakes, back at Ascot in July. Frankie Dettori's mount quickened stylishly two furlongs out to leave Kalanisi and Hightori in his wake.

The Mick Channon trained Queens Logic held on in a battling finish to land the Group 3 Queen Mary Stakes and earn't herself a quote of 33-1 for next years 1000Gns at Newmarket. The filly is by miler Grand Lodge out of a Diesis mare and breaks the mould of previous Queen Mary winners who have been purely sprint bred. Channon's filly is now two for two after her debut win at Newbury and the trainer, who handled the former juvenile Champion Tobougg rates her 'up there with the very best'.

Day three of the Royal meeting (Ladies Day) features the two and a half mile Ascot Gold Cup, for which the all powerful Godolphin Stable are represented by Yorkshire Cup winner and now 10-3 joint favourite Marienbard.
