Turbo Linn to take her place in Coronation Cup

Turbo Linn, winner of five bumpers on her initial career starts, is set to make the leap to Group 1 company in Friday´s Juddmonte Coronation Cup at Epsom.

The five-year-old was unbeaten in eight races last season, including the Group 2 Lancashire Oaks.

However, Alan Swinbank´s mare lost her 100% record when beaten in the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster on her final outing of the season.

The mare then finished a narrow second on her reappearance in a Hamilton Listed contest and Swinbank is keen to seize theinitiative following the recent wet spell in the south.

"We are planning to run and we´re just hoping the ground stays on the softer side," he said.

"She´s very, very well but she will have to be as it´s a very good race and a big ask of her.

"She´s ready to run though and there´s nothing for her apart from a couple of things abroad. We could wait for Royal Ascot but the ground will probably be quick then so we´ll take our chance.

"The track at Epsom will suit her and so would easy ground so we would be hoping for some prize money.

"She ran a great race last time and in another couple of strides I think she would have won. She needed the run that day though and has come on since."
