Overview

  • Field was cut from 41 entries to 11 runners at Monday’s confirmation stage for Saturday’s £1 million Group 1 contest
  • Four-year-old Ombudsman heads the market after Coral shortened his odds from 13-8 to 6-4 on heavy support
  • Three-year-olds Camille Pissarro, Ruling Court and Arc favourite Sosie receive a 10 lb age-for-weight concession
  • Trainer Thady Gosden says Ombudsman has come out of Royal Ascot in very good order and is primed for the quick return
  • Since 2000, three-year-olds and older horses have each won roughly half of Eclipse renewals, underscoring this generational test
