Coral-Eclipse Preview Including All Group Races On A Bumper Saturday Raceday.

This years Coral-Eclipse has a fierce field with this years Derby winner City Of Troy heading the betting at a super short 4/11 trained by the Ballydoyle maestro Aidan O'Brien ridden by Ryan Moore, they also play Hans Andersen in the race to set a good pace meaning City Of troy can get an ideal run to go on and win the race.

Clive Cox will hope Ghostwriter can go a few places better then his last start where he finished 4th in the Prix Du Jockey Club at Chantilly which was on ground not really suited to this Colt, which means a big run can be on the cards. Can he put up a challenge to City of Troy?

Has a very inconsistent record, was on a going day when winning this last year in impressive style. Won a handicap of top weight in March, Billy Loughnane a positive booking.

Listed winner at Fontainebleau on very soft. Short head defeat against Queen Of The Pride in Group 3 over C&D. Lightly raced could have more to offer.

Each-way

Unraced over 1m 2f but top form is on soft ground. made no impact at Ascot. Bottled up on previous run at this trip at Newmarket. One of the more interesting ones.
