Coronation Hill

Coronation Hill is a three-year-old trained by Jonjo and A.J. O'Neill at their Cheltenham yard. The horse made its debut a day ago and finished ninth, without troubling the placings. With just the one race under its belt, there is not much form to go on, but the O'Neill operation is a strong one — they have already sent out 51 winners this season, so the horse is in capable hands. What comes next for Coronation Hill will depend on how the trainer reads that opening run and what plans were laid out before the race began. Early form over a single outing tells you very little about where a horse might end up.
