Three horses who have caught the eyes of punters this morning
The fillies take centre stage for the fourth day at Royal Ascot in the Coronation Stakes but there is plenty of market support for the other top-quality races too. Here are three runners who have been well backed this morning.
Invincible Army 17-2 (from 9-1)
3.40 Ascot
We are set for an scintillating Commonwealth Cup and the money has come in for the ultra-consistent Invincible Army, who was last seen finishing a nose second to Sands Of Mail in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock and won on his only start at Ascot last month. He could reward punters' faith with another fine performance.
Threading10-1 (from 12-1)4.10 Ascot
Mark Johnston got off the mark on Thursday with Baghdad's narrow success in the King George V Stakes and he runs the useful Threading in the Coronation Stakes. She has twice disappointed at Newmarket, behind Clemmie in the Cheveley Park and Soliloquy in the Nell Gwyn, but her seven-length win in a Listed contest at York makes her a candidate for the placings here. The daughter of Exceed And Excel has yet to run at Ascot but is unlikely to mind the uphill finish.
This David Menuisier-trained runner has been particularly progressive over a mile and a quarter, particularly when winning a competitive handicap at York last time out. The way he finished off that race suggests he should not have a problem getting the mile and a half in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes this afternoon.
