Whilst all the hype has been focussed on Scenic Blast's win in the King's Stand Stakes, let's not overlook Fleeting Spirit's great second, beaten only 3/4 of a length.
Starting first up after 230 days off she droppped out to near last early before winding up along the rails at the 2 furlong post to almost spoil the Australian party.
Watch the race here. She starts from the inside barrier.

FLEETING SPIRIT ran a blinder on her seasonal bow to finish second to Aussie speedball Scenic Blast in this afternoon's King's Stand.
Just as she did last year in the same Royal Ascot Group 1, the daughter of Invincible Spirit went down by three parts of a length, but she ran her heart out.
Held up on the stands' side rail, Fleeting Spirit fizzed past horses through the closing furlong and a half.
But Scenic Blast, drawn on the other side, always had the upper hand in the duel and prevailed in the end.
Trainer Jeremy Noseda said: "I can't have any quibbles - we got beaten by a very, very good horse. She ran hard to the line.
