Hong Kong Derby winner Christophe Soumillon bids for Royal Ascot win on Perfect Power

Cordyceps Six could have been competing at Royal Ascot if conditions of the race were different. The three-year-old contest is an open affair featuring confirmed sprinters and runners dropping in trip. Perfect Power is the favourite, but El Caballo has won his past six starts, including at Group Two level last time. Unbeaten juvenile Inspiral makes her comeback on the biggest stage on Friday. She was the ante-post favourite for the 1,000 Guineas but was forced to miss the preparation. She faces a host of potential improvers, such as Spendarella and Cachet.
