Coral Celebrating 50 Year Eclipse Sponsorship Handicap

Useful colt who was better than the result when fifteenth of 30 in Britannia handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, firm) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort after looking a threat for a long way. The drop to 7f may suit.

Novice winner at Kempton last autumn. Placed all 3 starts at Meydan earlier this year but well held in the Britannia at Royal Ascot on his return to Britain.

Created a good impression in a couple of novice events and improved again when making a winning handicap debut at Goodwood (1m, good) in May. A lesser run in the Britannia since needs forgiving, though.

Very well-related colt who improved when winning 16-runner maiden at Chelmsford (1m 8/15) on return in May. Looked a smart prospect on that occasion and perhaps found the run coming too soon when only fifth at Doncaster a fortnight later. Handicap debut.

Settled better in a first-time hood (retained) and much improved when making a winning handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Hit with a 7 lb rise but there should be more to come.

Useful sort who ran his best race yet when second in 1m Newbury handicap in May. That form is solid and he ought to be very competitive back at 7f.

Confirmed debut promise when impressive winner of an AW maiden at Lingfield in April and ran out a clearcut winner under a penalty at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) since. An opening handicap mark in the mid-80s could underestimate him.

Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 12-runner novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last July but last in Group 2 on only subsequent 2-y-o start and down the field again in 6f Kempton handicap on reappearance. Steps up in trip with something to prove.

Winner of a 7f Kempton novice last October. Found the Group 3 Nell Gwyn at Newmarket to much on her Newmarket reappearance and weakened after pulling too hard in the 1m Sandringham at Royal Ascot since. The return to 7f may help but has too much to prove.
