Henry de Bromhead claimed his first Royal Ascot success on Tuesday as Ascending ran out a surprise winner of the Ascot Stakes.
The 20-1 shot knuckled down under Billy Lee in the concluding stages of the two-and-a-half-mile contest to beat Nurburgring, with the latter's trainer Joseph O'Brien also saddling the third and fourth home in Comfort Zone and Leinster.
