Coral-Eclipse 2025 Analysis

The Coral Eclipse ~ one of the summers top Group 1 contests at Sandown over 1.25 miles ~ brings together top class older horses and emerging big hitter 3yo's. This year’s renewal includes Royal Ascot hero Ombudsman, Classic contenders Delacroix and Camille Pissarro, plus French raider Sosie is in the mix. With generational pride at stake, it’s an interesting enough race.

Race Overview

  • Distance▸ 1 mile 2 furlongs
  • Surface▸ Turf (Good to Firm ~ Firm in places)
  • Field▸ 6 runners
  • Prize▸ £750,000

Historical Trends and Weight Factor

This is traditionally a tough test for older horses giving weight to younger rivals. Three year olds receive 10lbs and have won 6 of the last 10 editions. Pace, tactical speed, and ground versatility often define the outcome at Sandown.

Key Contenders

Horse Draw Odds Recent Form Expert Mentions
Ombudsman 5 5/4f 1st in Prince of Wales’s (G1) Timeform and Racing Post pick
Delacroix 3 9/2 Derby 9th (G1), previously 1st x2 Value Angle, Ryan Moore retained
Sosie 4 5/1 1st Prix d’Ispahan (G1) French raider to fear
Ruling Court 1 7/1 1st in 2000 Guineas, 3rd at Ascot Likely stayer, but stamina still to prove
Camille Pissarro 2 11/1 1st Prix du Jockey Club (G1) Dark horse, Moore chose Delacroix
Hotazhell 6 25/1 3rd in Irish 2,000 Guineas Big outsider, stamina is a plus though

Expert Predictions

  • Timeform▸ Ombudsman (1st), Sosie (2nd), Delacroix (3rd) ~ Read 📰
  • Racing Post▸ Ombudsman to confirm top level credentials ~ Read 📰
  • Racing TV▸ Ombudsman is the one ~ Read 📰
  • Notebook Angle▸ Delacroix forgiving run at Epsom, well handicapped by weight

Additional Factors

  • Ombudsman carries 10lbs more than his 3yo rivals
  • Only 17 days since a hard-fought win on firm ground at Ascot
  • Sosie steps onto quick ground for the first time ~ surface a question
  • Delacroix retains Moore’s confidence despite flop in the Derby

Final Recommendation ~ Delacroix 9/2 ~ Win Only ✅ (Won 3/1)

While Ombudsman is the likeliest winner on pure form, but the short odds do not reflect the task in hand ~ quick turnaround, weight concession, and firm ground all add to the pressure. With DELACROIX getting 10lbs and Ryan Moore staying loyal to the 3yo 📰 ~ he looks the best bet at 9/2. Sosie rates a solid danger if handling the conditions.
