Verdict

CORONET brings the best form in to this race after a fine campaign at Group 1 level last year and she's taken to get her head in front back on faster ground. Sir Michael Stoute knows what it takes to win this race having won it with the likes of Promising Lead, and more recently Crystal Capella so Smart Call and Mori could be the main dangers to the selection with narrow preference for the latter in the hope she was in need of her reappearance effort at Kempton when last seen.
  1. Coronet
