ECLIPSE day at Sandown Park is always a great occasion so it is a huge shame that only four runners will go to post in the Group One feature as the St James’s Palace and Irish 2,000 Guineas hero Paddington locks horns with the Coronation heroine Emily Upjohn.

I fancy that the three-year-old Irish raider will relish this step up to a mile-and-a-quarter, and conversely the filly won’t have any issues coming back down to 10 furlongs after showing a blinding turn of foot at Epsom.

However, DUBAI HONOUR looks exceptional value at a double figure price being rated a pound behind the three-year-old, but without the room to improve that his classic winning rival does.
