Royal Ascot: Inspiral gets Frankie Dettori and Gosdens off the mark in the Coronation Stakes

Inspiral belied her lengthy absence with a scintillating display in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The daughter of Frankel was the undoubted star juvenile filly of last season, winning each of her four starts including a Group One triumph in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket.

However, following a troubled spring, John and Thady Gosden’s charge was ruled out of last month’s 1000 Guineas and as a result made her first competitive appearance in eight months in Berkshire.

Given a confident ride by Frankie Dettori, 15-8 favourite Inspiral was still well back in the field turning for home, but sprouted wings in the straight to mow down the pacesetters and the found another gear to pull four and three-quarter lengths clear of American raider Spendarella.
