QIPCO 1000 Guineas runner-up Lucida is set to line up against 14 fillies, including Aidan O’Brien’s exciting Group 1 winner Found, for the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on Friday.

Jim Bolger’s Lucida was narrowly denied by Legatissimo in the British Classic at Newmarket last month, but will seek to secure QIPCO British Champions Series success in the Ascot fillies mile.

O’Brien’s Found is joined by French Guineas winner and runner-up Ervedya and Irish Rookie, as well as David Elsworth’s runaway Epsom scorer Arabian Queen and the John Gosden-trained Yasmeen.
