Betfred Bonus for 2012 Coronation Cup at Epsom

 

 The Epsom Derby is easily one of the most widely-anticipated dates on the British flat racing calendar and this year's iteration of the contest is drawing a bit of criticism due to the significant number of withdrawals happening. It appears as though the well-fancied O'Brien colt Camelot has scared away the majority of his more talented rivals with only a solitary contender – Bonfire – still in the mix at a single digit price.

Currently, punters will find a mere eight runners set to line up for one of the biggest prizes during the classic season.

We've also seen another significant withdrawal from the Coronation Cup as Godolphin's Monterosso has been pulled out of his second race in as many days. It appears as though they are being extremely selective with picking his next spot and punters are suffering with St Nicholas Abbey now trading as low as 8/15 with a number of major bookmakers for his Group 1 encounter on Derby Day.

It now appears as though St Nick's will face off against only five other horses in the high-profile contest and his slim price shows even more confidence in a contender coming off a loss on his seasonal

debut when sent off at a mere 2/5.

Beaten Up is the only other significant contender trading at a genuinely competitive price and you might be able to find Masked Marvel going shorter on the day but most will be expecting the St Leger winner to kick on a bit later in the year.

Quest for Peace and Red Cadeaux round out the field for this one.

Bookmakers are expecting the St Nicholas Abbey/Camelot double to be a particularly popular multiple on Saturday's card with many assuming a significant hit should both fancied contenders come home first.
