In terms of strength in depth this may not be the best Coventry in recent memory, a lot of them beaten a long way on the day, with softish ground part of the reason for that of course, but the winner looks very good and is rated well above the race-winning standards, on par on bare form but worth giving plenty extra given he came from what was clearly the disadvantaged of the 2 groups they raced in; the split was almost equal in terms of numbers, stalls 1-8 going far side with the rest more down the centre, and it was clear from an early stage that the far side had the upper hand, Yalta setting the strongest pace over there, and an overall reading of the result gives a firm indication that they were favoured, the next 4 home behind the winner all having raced far side throughout.
