Coral “Pipped-At-The-Post” And Win Handicap

Runners: 8 runners

Type: Flat Turf

Surface: Turf

Weather: Light rain

Form: 45-3

Last run: 26 days

W: 9st 10lb

3 yo Gelding

OR: 81

Form & Verdict
Ran encouragingly without genuinely threatening in three qualifying runs at 1m but this Frankel half-brother to Arc heroine Bluestocking was strong in the betting for all of those and may yet do appreciably better; brings significant potential into handicaps now sent over further.

J: Rhys Clutterbuck

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Maiden hurdle winner in first-time blinkers; 0-11 on the Flat, which sees him continue down the weights but he's been soundly beaten in Polytrack handicaps (unraced on Tapeta) and Flat record over the last year has been uninspiring; visored first time (has tried cheekpieces as well as the blinkers).

Hurdle winner at Doncaster (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in December but struggled in his next five starts; ran a bit better when sixth of nine at Bath (1m2f, firm) 15 days ago but isn't certain to back that up; cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Was threatening to go backwards after his successful debut but, after a gelding operation, he got himself firmly back on track when a staying-on second at Redcar (1m2f handicap; good to firm; held up); nudged up 4lb but the front two were clear; much respected.

Two wins in light campaign last season (1m2f/1m4f, good to firm/good) and he easily made all on his reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May; has a 12lb rise to contend with in this hotter race but it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies; top yard has won this race three times.

Form & Verdict
Had 16 races (won three) and others might be on better terms with the handicapper, but he didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when second of six in a 1m4f handicap at Newmarket most recently; solid form claims and considered each-way.

Last won when sharing the spoils at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April 2025; close second of 15 at Newbury (1m4f, good) in May was his best show this season and he acts on good to firm, but others are preferred for win purposes; this is a very rare run in headgear.

Form & Verdict
Went up 12lb for winning two Class 5s over 1m2f (good to firm/good to soft) but confirmed himself progressive with a second over C&D 22 days ago; however, the winner had his measure with a degree of comfort and this might take even more winning.

Questionable what he achieved when chasing home a long odds-on favourite (who was making it 2-2) at Windsor (1m2f, good) but appears to be coming along and the potential is there to advance this initial mark; any market confidence would further heighten interest.

11-race maiden; raced too freely in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) and flopped badly when warm favourite at Chester two months ago but the form of his close fourth at Newbury (1m2f, good) in April worked out well and he'll be dangerous here if all goes to plan after his short break.

Runner-up over about 1m2f on four of eight starts last year, including in two handicaps; close third on reappearance at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in early March but that was when 4-7 in a novice event and that disappointment heightens the concern over his lingering maiden status.

Although a nine-race maiden, he had no luck when second at Goodwood (1m2f, good) and making up ground from off the pace at Windsor (extended 1m3f) is never the wisest idea, especially in a steadily run race; not entirely dismissed.
