St Nicholas Abbey backed for Coronation Cup Strong support (4/6- 4/7) has come for last year's winner St Nicholas Abbey in the Coronation Cup at Epsom today. The three-times Group 1 winner holds the best form and looked better than ever when a shade unlucky in Dubai this Spring when second to the highly rated Cirrus Des Aigles. Set too much to do when beaten at odds on last month, the five-year-old is set to make amends this afternoon in a race there for the taking.
