Two fascinating Group 1 races feature on Friday at Royal Ascot. 

The Commonwealth Cup is run over the straight 6-furlong course and the fillies go up against each other over a mile in the Coronation Stakes.

CityAM Racing editor Bill Esdaile previews Friday’s first class action at Ascot, searching for winners in the exciting World Pool betting markets. Hosted by Chris Barnett.
