3.35DARLEY YORKSHIRE OAKS

tIme may tell us that

CORONET faced a near impossible task trying to mix it with Poet’s Word and Crystal Ocean in a titanic renewal of the King George, but she should be more at home in familiar surroundings today and could upset likely favourite Sea Of Class.

the selection couldn’t match the speed of Poet’s Word at Ascot, but there was no disgrace in finishing an honourable third and the last time she tackled her own sex she ran out a conqueror of the useful Horseplay here in may. Her five-length defeat in last year’s renewal of this race at the hands of enable rates as the premier piece of form on show and that level of performance was matched when agonisingly beaten in the Grand Prix de SaintCloud by the talented Waldgeist.

Both Irish Oaks winner Sea Of Class and the likeable laurens are feared and the latter could leap forward again by stretching out to a mile and a half, but Coronet is highly talented and boasts course experience so may have the measure of the three-year-olds.
