Relive the moment when The Fugue comfortably won the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot, getting the better of a stellar field including the likes of Magician, Mukhadram and Treve.

The Fugue reportedly injured a heel when flopping in Dubai 3 months ago, so it was easy to forgive in hindsight, and she proved at least as good as ever to record the fourth Group 1 win of her career under what are probably her optimum conditions (1¼m on firmish ground), the task made easier by Treve underperforming, but still had a high-class colt in Magician to see off and did so relatively comfortably, turning the tables with him from the Breeders' Cup; it was the smoothest of performances, very similar to last year's Yorkshire Oaks, only against stronger opposition, tanking along in mid-field, making headway on the bridle over 2f out, quickening to lead approaching final 1f and soon a couple of lengths clear, edging right to the rail and just needing to be kept up to her work; she can win more races at the top level, always with the option of going back against fillies of course, but there are more prestigious races on the agenda immediately, the Eclipse a possibility according to her trainer (scoped dirty after disappointing in that race in 2013).
