Icon 13-8 To Become A Legend

Sixties Icon, the ultra impressive winner of last year's Ladbrokes St Leger, has been installed as the 13-8 favourite by William Hill for Friday's Vodafone Coronation Cup. Returning to Epsom for the first time, since finishing seventh to Sir Percy in last year's Vodafone Derby, Jeremy Noseda's four year old heads the betting for the seven runner race ahead of his conqueror of 12 months ago, who is bidding to become the first horse since Roberto to record a Vodafone Derby/Coronation Cup double in consecutive years.

William Hill spokesman Ben Clarke added: "From the Derby onwards Sixties Icon improved throughout last season with the only slight blot on his copybook his sixth place in the Arc. His recent Group 2 success at Newmarket indicated that he has wintered well and retained every ounce of his ability but the quality of opposition is such that he will have to be at his very best win."
