Verdict

TOULEEN did well to get up for second in the Group 1 Coronation over C&D at the Royal meeting and should take a bit of stopping with Buick doing the steering this time. Kon Tiki is another who arrives on the back of a good run over C&D and looks the obvious danger.

  1. TOULEEN
  2. KON TIKI
