Aidan O’Brien, who is bidding for his fourth victory in the Coral Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, will send Mount Nelson into action for this year’s renewal on Saturday.

The Ballydoyle maestro withdrew his other two entries King Of Rome and Plan.

In total a field of nine will go to post. Henry Cecil will rely on Phoenix Tower and Multidimensional, who both ran well at Royal Ascot recently. Phoenix Tower was second in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes and Multidimensional runner-up in the Hardwicke Stakes.

Godolphin, with four Eclipses under their banner, are double-handed through Literato and King Edward VII victor Campanologist, the only three-year-old in the line-up. However Literato needs rain to fall to take up his place.

The popular seven-year-old Maraahel and Rob Roy are set to represent Michael Stoute, who has won the race five times.

John Gosden’s Pipedreamer and Stotsfold, trained by Walter Swinburn, successful twice as a jockey, complete the line-up.
