For whatever reason his form tailed off badly last season but he could just be the type that you have to catch very early, indeed he won first time out last season, handles a bit of cut and has been gelded since we last saw him. Remember the confidence they had sending him to for the irish derby. They obviously rated him very highly and I think with a strong gallop likely the 10f trip will play to his strengths and could stay too stoutley for some of these. 1pt each way 33/1..Initally I toyed with getting stuck into Lucarno but this is his fifth run in something like 62 days and he did have a pretty hard race at Epsom and while he does have an excellent chance at the current price I'll take a chance with Harland. The same connections as that of Silkwood, has a similarly unexposed profile and his rather taking maiden defeat of Eradicate was franked by that ones placed effort in yesterdays last off top weight. It does leave him with loads to find but he'll improve for the step up in trip and he would not be inconvienced by any rain that falls - its a bit of a shot in the dark but surely Michael Jarvis would have taken the handicap route of 92 if he didnt think he was up to it. The Coronation is a belting race, practically every 3yo filly with top-class mile aspirations is here to put there credentials on the line; purely from my bets point of view the rain can stay away as it would comprise the chances of Arch Swing.

A big bully of a filly who ran a cracker behind Finsceal Beo at Newmarket, when she was stuck out in the middle of the course, which hindered her cause and you can forget the Irish 1000 as she injured herself and was looked after by Mick Kinane after her chance had gone and assuming John Oxx has her back to her best and we have no rain she has a cracking chance. Its not to say she hasnt got opposition, Finsceal Beo is a blindingly obvious danger but she looked to be coming the end of her tether rather rapidly in Ireland and I just wonder if she's had enough for the time being. Darjina chinned Finsceal in France but I wasn't that impressed to be honest, Bolger's filly was coming off the Newmarket race and her instant acceleration took her away from the French filly had she (Darjina) will need to pick up quicker here as I doubt they will be stopping in front as Finsceal Beo did slightly in France. A bigger danger for me is Mi Emma, the German filly has trounced her opposition in all of her races and the form of her German Guineas win has been advertised all over Europe, its a step up but she's the dictionary definition of unexposed and almost merited a saver but I just preferred Arch Swings inflated price......"
