19 in King's Stand contention Mike De Kock's Shea Shea will face 18 rivals in Tuesday's King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot as attempts to become the first South African-trained winner at the meeting. De Kock has trained winners all over the globe, but has yet to break his Ascot duck. Shea Shea was a very impressive winner at the Dubai World Cup meeting and this has been his aim ever since. He will be ridden by Christophe Soumillon. He will be joined in the line-up by the Australian raider Shamexpress, trained by Danny O'Brien. The home team is led by the Clive Cox-trained Reckless Abandon, twice a Group One winner as a juvenile and a fine third on his comeback in the Temple Stakes recently. Eddie Lynam's Sole Power finished third in the race last year and he will be partnered by Johnny Murtagh as he goes for glory once again. Robert Cowell runs Temple Swinner Kingsgate Native, 2011 King's Stand victor Prohibit and Spirit Quartz, who will be ridden by Joseph O'Brien. Pearl Secret makes his first appearance of the campaign for David Barron, fellow Yorkshire handler David O'Meara is represented by Move In Time and Doc Hay while John Gosden runs Swiss Spirit.
