Ink blot on the Coronation landscape

Richard Hughes delivered the Richard Hannon-trained filly with a decisive flourish down the outside over a furlong out and the heavily-backed 8-1 shot pulled six lengths clear.
German raider Mi Emma kept on for second, just heading French runner Darjina in a tight finish.
Cherry Hinton and Scarlet Runner set a decent early pace, allowing Hughes to settle his filly, who won last year's Cheveley Park Stakes, towards the rear.
Mi Emma, the 100-30 joint-favourite, and Darjina both took up positions near the front but they all looked set to be trumped by the other market leader, Finsceal Beo, who was travelling really well.
However, she found little under pressure as Indian Ink swept past and powered away, leaving Mi Emma and Darjina toiling in her wake.
Hannon told BBC Sport: "The ground made a big difference. At the start of the week things were not looking very good.
"All her best runs last year were on easier ground. Just a bit of give in the ground is fine.
"In the (1000) Guineas, the ground was very fast. She got into a bit of trouble and perhaps she should have been third.
"She might go to the Falmouth, something like that."
