Barney Roy is set to tackle Saturday's Coral-Eclipse at Sandown rather than taking up an alternative engagement in Sunday's Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly.

Trainer Richard Hannon stated earlier in the week he would be eager to try his St James's Palace Stakes winner over 10 furlongs in the Esher feature, but the colt was still among five possibles for the French Group One over a mile after Wednesday's forfeit stage.
