So You Think was three lengths clear at one stage but 17-2 shot Rewilding, trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni, caught him on the line.

Dettori says “it was a tremendous battle with two great horses.”

So You Think’s trainer Aiden O’Brien says he “took responsibility” for the 4-11 favorite’s failure.

Sri Putra, a 66-1 shot, was third.

Queen Elizabeth II watched the race, having attended every Royal Ascot meeting since 1945.
