O'Brien out for more Group One glory

Aidan O’Brien’s Mount Nelson features among the 12 horses still in Saturday’s Coral-Eclipse at Sandown after the confirmation stage.

The Ballydoyle handler has been in imperious form in recent weeks, enjoying a bumper Royal Ascot and plundering the Irish Derby on Sunday, and he could also be represented by King Of Rome and Plan.

Mount Nelson, a Group One winner as a juvenile, has been popular in the ante-post markets for this weekend’s feature after finishing a close-up fifth behind Haradasun in the Queen Anne Stakes.

Henry Cecil’s Phoenix Tower and John Gosden’s Pipedreamer, second and third behind Duke Of Marmalade in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes could clash again.

While Cecil’s Multidimensional and Maraahel, who were second and third in the Hardwicke could also reoppose.

Sir Michael Stoute, trainer of the Maraahel, could also run Rob Roy.

Godolphin can choose from Campanologist and Literato as Hattan and Stotsfold complete the potential line-up.

As expected New Approach was taken out of the race along with Henrythenavigator and Peeping Fawn, among others.
