Appleby's Coroebus going for Ascot gold at 'Olympics of Racing'

Charlie Appleby's 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus has one more piece of work scheduled on Saturday and then it will be all system's go for Tuesday's St James's Palace Stakes.

The son of Dubawi beat his stable companion Native Trail, last year's champion juvenile and subsequent Irish Guineas winner, in the first British Classic of the season at Newmarket.

Coroebus is a general 4-9 shot to follow up in the St James's Palace, a race his trainer came close to winning two years ago with Pinatubo, and it will be the colt's first race around a bend having raced solely at Newmarket to date.
