Top jockey and Coral ambassador Jim Crowley provides regular previews for his upcoming mounts at all of the leading Flat meetings in his Coral blog.
1.50 Newbury – Moyassar He won at Newmarket last time and was pencilled in to run at York but we decided to keep him to six furlongs. He’s got a great chance. He was very impressive last time and we are very hopeful of a big run. We also run... View Article
1.35 Newbury – Majaalis I haven’t sat on this horse before. He cost a lot of money and is very well bred. William Haggis’s normally come on for a run but I think they think a good bit of him so we’ll see how he goes. 2.10 Newbury – Habub... View Article
1.50 York – Open Wide He’s a hold up horse and things have to go right for him. I think York will suit him as a track. I thought he was a little unlucky last time at Goodwood. I didn’t ride him that day but I watched him. That said... View Article

Crowley gives his thoughts on Guineas weekend and the Jockey’s title race Saturday Newmarket 2.20 My opening ride of the weekend, Encore D’Or, has a bit to find with the market principals here, but in his favour is some decent all weather form, and he’s trained by Robert Cowell, a... View Article
Crowley calls it at Leicester, Wolverhampton and and Salisbury 2000 Guineas Mohaather’s lead horse won the other night at Wolverhampton, won very well. Mohaather is in good form. I don’t think he could be any better. He has had a great preparation – he’s very fit and won his trial.... View Article
Exclusive insight from our racing ambassador Saturday 5.05 Nottingham – Foad This horse has had a run at Leicester where he ran ok on that occasion, finishing fifth. He was a bit keen but we expect he will come on for that outing. He is by Kodiac and I am... View Article
More Newmarket insight from our ambassador It’s been a really enjoyable start to the season and I’m starting to get right back into the swing of things now back in England. The sun is shining and it was great to kick off the Craven meeting with a couple of winners... View Article
