Verdict
Coronado Forest, Estimation and White Park Bay look the ones to follow here but we are happy to take a chance on Coronado Forest. The selection shaped as though returning to form last time out when second over course and distance behind Ben Hur, who has since gone on and franked the form in a better race. Estimation is another in good form but his best effort of late came at Lingfield and it's not clear whether he will be suited by this track. White Park Bay has dropped to a handy mark, but he's disappointed in his last two races on turf, although he ran well over course and distance behind Mandarin Spirit on his last appearance here. Touch of Gold is from a yard that does well at this track and is worth noting in the market, but Coronado Forest has solid credentials and should take a good deal of beating.
