The Coronation Cup

[NoChanceToDance]

Yeats runs today, so i doubt he will run, but as far as i know they are intending to run Dylan again, the step back up in trip will suit him, i think but the ground looks like it could be soft at Epsom on Friday, and that really wouldn't suit him.

If the ground is soft i'd go for Septimus looked good on his return this year.

I'd love to see Sir Percy get back into winning form here. Tough field though!

A cracking little race. Kinane on Scorpion and Murtagh on Septimus.. Sixties Icon looked brilliant on his return this year but has to overcome course form with Sir Percy from the Derby last year..

Ok, definately picking Scorpion and Sixties Icon .

I was disappointed with scorpion at Chester, esepecially as i was told he was going really well at home and they were confident. Softer ground will help him, but that can also be said for Septimus, who was the ante post derby fav a couple of years ago for quite sometime and i really like him for this.

Septimus did really well on his comeback at the Curragh. He has to reverse Epsom Derby form with Sir Percy but on Soft Ground, he might just be able to get closer.. Scorpion has disappointed me too many times that I cant support him anymore. Anyway, I think Sir Percy and Sixties are a few pounds better than anyone else here..

[NoChanceToDance]

Will sixties and sir Percy like the ground, though? If they do, they will probably fight out the finish but i'm not so sure.

I think Septimus will be the value each way alternative.

[brockguy]

Neither has run much on genuinely soft ground but I reckon they'll handle it.. Septimus certainly looks the ew pick.. Do you think the ground will be Soft on Friday??

maybe we've hyped these horses up alittle too much this year?
