Invincible Army in 'savage' form as Tate counts down to Diamond Jubilee

Invincible Army is a favourite to win the Group 1 sprint at Royal Ascot on June 22. Trainer James Tate is also planning to run Royal Hunt Cup market leader New Graduate. Invincible army has won two races this season. P J McDonald has ridden him to both victories. He was beaten a short head by subsequent Derby hero Masar on debut at Goodwood two years ago. He is trained by James Tate. The trainer is hoping to have a first Royal success at the meeting. It would be a career highlight for him. Royal Atcot is the pinnacle of racing. Tate hopes the ground will be firm for the race.

Invincible Army is the favourite for the Diamond Jubilee. James Tate's sprinter has improved from three to four and is now a more mature spriner. The French-trained City Light is a better bet. Richard Birch recommends betting on Merchant Navy. The Racing Post Royal Ascot 2019 Guide is available to buy now.
