How competitive is the Coronation Cup market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2021 when the race had an over-round of 107%. The race in 2016 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 124%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Coronation Cup, the over-round has been 114%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £114 which is bet.
Coronation Cup Trends:
Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? From the past 20 if you had followed the winner of the Coronation Cup next time out then you would have backed a total of 8 winners. Backing all 17 runners who have been out since to win at SP next time out, would have returned an LSP of +8.34.
