Verdict

None can be ruled out in a fascinating Eclipse yet it's hard to side against VADENI who was a sparkling winner of the Prix du Jockey Club and can reward connections' decision to supplement him for £50 000 in the week. Bay Bridge saw his winning spree ended at Royal Ascot but shouldn't be written off provided ground conditions remain with some ease, while high-class miler Native Trail can't be discounted now he steps up in trip and it would come as no surprise to see Mishriff bounce back.
