NINE DECLARED FOR CORONATION

Crimplene, winner of the German and Irish 1000 Guineas, faces eight rivals in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on Friday.

The Clive Brittain-trained filly will be reopposed by three horses she defeated at the Curragh - Amethyst (second), Seazun (fourth) and Princess Ellen (fifth).

Bluemamba, winner of the French 1000 Guineas, bids to become the first filly from across the Channel to take the Group One prize since Shake The Yoke four years ago.

But Pascal Bary's charge will have to confirm Longchamp form with compatriot Zarkiya, who had no luck in running when only half-a-length behind the winner in fourth place.

The daughter of Catrail is trained by Alain de Royer Dupre and owned by the Aga Khan, who had three winners at Royal Ascot on Tuesday.

The John Dunlop-trianed Iftiraas, who was half a length behind Zarkiya in fifth place in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, also renews rivalry.

Godolphin will not be represented after taking out both of their entries, Bintalreef and Teggiano, at today's 48-hour final declaration stage.

The only other withdrawal was Miss Dordogne, trained by Geoff Wragg. The Newmarket trainer, successful with Balisada 12 months ago, relies on Decision Maid.
