Wand weaves her Magic in Ribblesdale Stakes

Magic Wand dominated her rivals in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Aidan O'Brien's filly had beaten stablemate Forever Together in the Cheshire Oaks in May, but the tables were turned in the Investec Oaks at Epsom three weeks ago as Forever Together claimed Classic glory and Magic Wand finished only fourth.
Back on a sound surface, 100-30 chance Magic Wand proved an entirely different proposition in the hands of Ryan Moore, travelling strongly before powering clear in the home straight for an impressive four-length victory.
Epsom Oaks second Wild Illusion, the 9-4 favourite, had to make do with the runner-up spot once again with Sun Maiden third.
