CONSTITUTION River’s much-talked-about Coral-Eclipse success was achieved with an impressive Race iQ time index of 8.1 - particularly impressive when compared to the otherwise strong card, producing an average winning time index of 6.3, writes Will Hayler.

Analysts’ eyes can often be drawn to focus on horses that made late ground in the day, with the view they should perform better next time if chasing a faster pace, but this year’s Eclipse offers us the chance to go against the grain and put forward an eye-catcher for the opposite reasons.
