Top-class racing in GB & France today, unfortunately with small fields in some of the big races. The Eclipse Stakes at Sandown features the 3yo generation stepping out against older foes for the first time, and despite the race only having four entrants, we get Paddington, winner of Irish 2000 Guineas and St. James Palace S. at Royal Ascot for Aidan O'Brien/Ryan Moore, clashing with Emily Upjohn, dual GI-winner which won the Coronation Cup (GI) at Epsom last time, from the Gosdens and William Buick, subbing for Frankie Dettori. Can't bet it, but have to watch it!
The Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud offers 2022 Irish Derby hero Westover in a rematch against Zagrey, the second and third place finishers behind Japanese superstar Equinox in the Sheema Classic at Meydan (Dubai).
