A top-class field of six horses will go to post for the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown on Saturday.
All eyes will be on Ombudsman after his brilliant Prince of Wales’s Stakes victory at Royal Ascot, although John and Thady Gosden’s four-year-old faces a serious test.
Leading the opposition is Sosie for French master Andre Fabre, while Aidan O’Brien runs beaten Derby favourite Delacroix and French Derby hero Cammille Pissaro.
Hotazhell, winner of the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster last year, takes his chance for Jessica Harrington and is a third Irish raider making the visit to Esher.
Charlie Appleby has opted to run his 2000 Guineas winner Ruling Court, who completes the sextet stepping up to 10 furlongs for the first time and will be partnered by Oisin Murphy, with Godolphin number one William Buick pledging his allegiance to Ombudsman.
Current Going: Good, Good to Firm in places
