Coral "Pipped-At-The-Post" And Win Handicap

0-6; ran well to be fourth on handicap debut over C&D in April but hard to draw upon too many positives since then, including on return to this track last time when well behind Antelope; cheekpieces are now turned to.

Last season's defeats were on soft ground and it was a different story when making a winning return in a Nottingham maiden (1m, good); however, that form has taken some knocks and this is a tough start in handicaps.

Beaten 6l in her only previous handicap in May (1m); a bit better since then in a 1m1f maiden and 1m2f novice, without suggesting she'll prove the answer to this.

Huge odds in his qualifying races and ran accordingly; odds of 5-1 and 6-5 for his two handicaps but, although more competitive, he wasn't that threatening; the hood tried last time is replaced by a tongue-tie; 3lb out of the handicap today; needs more and a 7lb claimer takes over.

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.
