Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase: Runner by runner betting guide
The Coral Gold Cup, known as the Hennessy, is one of many standout races this weekend. It is a race won in the past by racing superstars such as Bobs Worth, Native River, and the most famous of them all, Denman. This year may lack the star entries of times gone by, but 14 line up in what looks to be an ultra-competitive renewal on paper. Here, I will run you through all 14 runners and give you my thoughts on how I see them performing on the day. In addition to my runner-by-runner betting guide, you can get all the best online horse racing bookmakers to place your Coral Gold Cup winning bet.

He comes in here after a prep run in a Listed chase at Carlise, where he went from looking like he was going to win convincingly to weakening very fast after the last. I have my reservations about Colonel Harry. All his best performances have been when up with/making the running, and with a strong pace looking likely here and the fact that he is tackling this kind of extreme test for the first time, it is enough for me to take him on at the prices. If he does see out the trip, then he has a standout chance. But he has to prove that he is looking for a trip like this, which I am not convinced of. I am willing to take him on. Second-season novice Has had a prep run Has yet to run beyond 2m4f on track First run of the season Star rating: Bet on Colonel Harry with talkSPORT BET 7 Broadway Boy Age: 6 Weight: 11st 8lb Form: 1135-3 Rating: 158 Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Nigel Twiston-Davies Odds: 7/1 If there was ever a horse that looked tailor-made for the Coral Gold Cup, then it’s Broadway Boy. He made giant strides in his novice chase season, winning three for his first four stars, but then was outclassed when he stepped up into Grade 1 company. He had a nice pipe opener at Cheltenham in October, where he finished third on ground that would have been much faster than he would have liked. There is a big swing in the weights with the winner Senior Chief from their meeting in October, and I expect that to be turned around here. He won a race equally as competitive as this at Cheltenham off just two-pound lower and on a track favouring front runners that jump well; it will be a case of ‘catch me if you can’ with Broadway Boy. If he gets into his usual jumping rhythm around Newbury, it will take a tough one to pass him over a trip, and we know that he stays well. Second-season novice Has had a prep run Will relish this test Won’t want the ground to dry out Star rating: Bet on Broadway Boy with Sky Bet 9 Kandoo Kid Age: 8 Weight: 11st 5lb Form: 12P23- Rating: 145 Jockey: Harry Cobden Trainer: Paul Nocholls Odds: 8/1 At the age of eight, Kandoo Kid has very little racing, and it is hard to get a handle on him. He has spent most of his career racing over middle distances, but the one time he did tackle three miles, he was pulled up when sent off favourite for the Great Yorkshire Handicap Chase at Doncaster. That, for me, is worrying in itself. We saw in the Paddy Power how beneficial it is to have a run under your belt, and the same goes for the Coral Gold Cup, with ten of the past eleven winners all having a prep run. With the lack of a prep run and a dismal display on his only run over three miles, it’s hard to get excited about Kandoo Kid’s chances here. Second-season novice Has course form Bombed out on his only start over three miles Star rating: Bet on Kandoo Kid with Paddy Power 3 Senior Chief Age: 7 Weight: 11st 11lb Form: 321P-1 Rating: 151 Jockey: Darragh O’Keeffe Trainer: Henry de Bromhead Odds: 8/1 You always have to respect any runner that comes over from the Henry de Bromhead yard, and Senior Chief is no exception. He has already proven he can win on his travels when beating Broadway Boy and stablemate The Short Go at Cheltenham in October. He has received a six-pound rise in the weights for winning that race, but this progressive chaser should have more progression in him. With no ground or trip worries, Senior Chief is one runner with a lot going for him. Given a clear round, he should be nailed on for a place. A career-best win at Cheltenham Looks to have more to offer Career high mark Star rating: Bet on Senior Chief with VBET 12 Victtorino Age: 6 Weight: 11st 3lb Form: 1174P- Rating:
