Elsworth aims both barrels at Eclipse

DAVID ELSWORTH is looking for bold showings from his duo Norse Dancer and Salford City when they line up for the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown on Saturday.

The colts were among 14 horses in the Group One showpiece at yesterday’s five-day confirmation stage, with Refuse To Bend and Maktub being supplemented at a cost of £20,000 each.

Norse Dancer has been campaigned at the highest level and finished fourth in last year’s Vodafone Derby, while Salford City finished fifth in this year’s renewal, beaten just four lengths by North Light.
