Gordon Elliott is targeting his third Royal Ascot success with a horse previously owned by the Queen on the opening day of the meeting.
Top class hurdler Pied Piper runs in the Ascot Stakes on Tuesday and is towards the top of the market for the 2m4f contest, which starts at 5pm.
The four-year-old has a mark of 96 on the flat from his days with the father/son training partnership of John and Thady Gosden and will be partnered by Jamie Spencer.
