The Eclipse is named after one of our most favourite horses and one of the greatest ever.

But sadly this year it is down to just four horses with two of them being even-money favourites.  They are Emily Upjohn from the Gosdens with William Buick riding since Franke Dettori is on a stewards' "Holiday", and Paddington with Aidan O'Brien very positive and as usual Ryan Moore will be on board.

The two others in the race are Dubai Honour 10/1 for William Haggas and Tom Marquand and the Crisfords runner West Wind Blows 20/1 with Jamie Spencer riding.

Earlier there could be a chance to earn some money for the ice creams in the Coral Charge G3 over 1000m with 11 runners.  Charlie Hills has a strong hand here with Equality on 7/1 and Equilateral 11/2 – William Buick and Jamie Spencer the jockeys, and Michael Appleby's Annaf will be partnered by Rossa Ryan – they were third in the King's Stand – on 5/1.
