2025 Coral Challenge Betting Tips

Treasure Time has got definite credentials based on his achievements as a three-year-old. It’s little surprise that the bookies have installed him as favourite to win Saturday’s Coral Challenge. William Haggas’ charge was last seen finishing fourth out of fourteen runners at Doncaster, with that coming in a one-mile encounter.

Previously to this, there was an August success at York Racecourse. That victory came in the Sky Bet Mile Handicap, with that coming after finishing fifth in the World Pool Handicap. However, Classic Encounter is another four-year-old with strong credentials, with George Boughey having seen his charge win twice already this term.

There was a mid-June success at York Racecourse, with the 7/4 favourite delivering over one mile and one furlong. That came after failing to make a mark as the even money market leader at Newmarket, although there was previously a runner-up effort at the same track. Perhaps Greek Order could be worthy of each-way consideration.

Michael Bell trains a runner who was a solid fourth in a massive field of thirty runners at the Royal Ascot meeting. Sent off at odds of 22/1 in the Royal Hunt Cup, he rewarded each-way backers and that came after a couple of flashy showings at Gulfstream Park. Other runners worthy of consideration are Urban Lion and Classic.

2024 Coral Challenge Tips

There’s a wide open field lining up for the Coral Challenge, with Perotto having finished third in his last race. The six-year-old was sent off at odds of 25/1 in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot before he provided a solid performance. Roger Varian will hope that his charge can build on that display and secure a victory.

Previously to this, there was a win at Ascot back in August, with Holloway Boy trading at similar odds and the four-year-old is the highest-rated runner in the field. Karl Burke will be confident that a strong performance can be achieved after a fifth-placed finish in the Royal Hunt Cup, so there could be more to come.

Two Tempting has been impressive this season and the five-year-old could offer more, with trainer Jonathan Portman having saddled his charge to consecutive wins. There was a win at Sandown in mid-June over one mile, with David Egan steering him to success. That came after a victory at Epsom where the horse was able to edge matters by a nose.

Classic was able to register second placed at Sandown Park when competing against fourteen other runners and it was only Two Tempting who beat him on that occasion. That came after a disappointing showing at the same course, with Dual Identity a six-year-old running for William Knight and he has won this season.

2023 Coral Challenge Tips

Awaal has run to a high level in recent weeks, with the four-year-old finishing third in the Royal Hunt Cup at the 2023 Royal Ascot meeting. Jimi Hendrix and Sonny Liston were the only horses in front of a runner who has been installed as favourite to claim the spoils and there were twenty-seven who finished behind this horse at the prestigious meeting.

However, perhaps punters will be looking beyond the market leader for a bigger price and there was a last place finish in the Prix Jacques Laffitte at Longchamp which means that there is a question mark over the horse, with Indemnify having run really well for Alice Haynes when lining up at Sandown Park.

Al Mubhir is not without a chance and the horse was recently sent off as the 13/8 favourite when finishing third in the Pertemps Network Spring Trophy Handicap. Over seven furlongs, the horse found two too good but there’s a decent chance of victory based on the even money win in the King Richard III Handicap at Leicester Racecourse.

Dutch Decoy will hope to shake off the runner-up tag received over the past two races when going up at Sandown in the Coral Challenge, with the horse recently finishing second at the same track in the Aspall Cyder 1728 Handicap, with this coming after a runner-up position at Epsom Racecourse and perhaps this means the horse is a good each-way shout.
