South African star Shea can right the wrong of Ascot defeat

Did Shea Shea get caught on the blind side or was Sole Power the winner on merit in the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot?

That's one of the first questions punters must ask themselves ahead of this afternoon's Darley July Cup (3.50) at Newmarket.

Shea Shea, trained by South Africa's master trainer, Mike De Kock, flew clear of the runners on the far side of the track but, on the near side, the finishing kick of Sole Power, under an inspired ride by Johnny Murtagh, gained the day.
