Territories has a strong chance in the Gr2 Coventry Stakes on Day One at Royal Ascot

Masseto by Darley’s Territories is second favourite in the Coventry Stakes. He overcame trouble to win on debut in maiden company and is coming off a last start second to Starspangledbanner youngster Castle Star in the Gr3 Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh.
