La Coronel on target for Royal Coronation

Mark Casse, who struck with star mare Tepin in last year's Queen Anne Stakes, is eyeing another Royal Ascot success with La Coronel in the Coronation Stakes.

La Coronel has won three of her five career starts on turf and produced an impressive display last time out in the Grade 3 Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland on April 13, staying on strongly to win by three and a quarter lengths.

Casse commented: "La Coronel is doing great and we currently plan on running her against colts on Derby Day at Churchill Downs in the American Turf.

"I've been very happy with both of her races this year. Her last start at Keeneland was a very tough race including a Breeders' Cup winner and runner-up and she won it easily. She will need to run well at Churchill in the American Turf and, if she does, there is a very good chance she will come to Royal Ascot.

"She enjoys a little give in the ground and is a very smart filly, I think she will handle Ascot fine. Tepin's success at Ascot has definitely gave us more confidence and a better understanding of the English racing."

The Coronation Stakes entries also feature Rhododendron and Winter (Aidan O'Brien), recent Group 3 scorer Senga (Pascal Bary), one of 11 contenders trained in France, and unbeaten German filly Delectation (Andreas Wohler).
