Eddery on fire ahead of first Classic

Pat Eddery has booked Olivier Peslier to ride Hearts Of Fire in the StanJames.com 2000 Guineas – and believes his colt is overpriced for next month’s Newmarket Classic.

The three-year-old won three times as a juvenile under the French jockey – who won the Guineas on Cockney Rebel in 2007 – and rounded off his campaign with Group One success in Italy.
