We have experienced an amazing week of racing in stunning sunshine. Kyprios bounced back from a career ending injury to win the geldings second Ascot Gold Cup for Ryan Moore and trainer Aiden O'Brien. Today we have two eye watering races early on the card, the Commonwealth Cup over the 6f trip and the Coronation Stakes over 1 mile both to be run on Good to firm ground.

Front running, Did well in 2000 Guineas over 1 mile which is not this colts trip then dropped back to 6f the win the Group 2 Sandy Lane at Haydock. Shaped well on Good to firm on sole start last year. Could improve further.
Each-way: Pandoras Gift 16/1
Only ran 6f in her career also all on all weather, completed a four timer in Fillies races including a listed win at Chelmsford easily, that form has worked out excellently. Top class filly if transferring ability to turf.

Daughter of Justify, Goes on any ground. Super solid consistent sort with a record of 1211223. Most recent run was good when getting beat late on in the 1,000 Guineas after kicking on and getting caught close home, behind Elmalka who reopposes here, respected.

Handles any ground. Super consistent Filly with form figures of 11123122. Won on this card 12 months ago in the Albany. Finished a neck 2nd in the 1,000 Guineas between Elmalka and Ramatuelle. Loves Ascot so poised to run well.
