Weekend highlights

Another big weekend coming up in European racing, with four group races being run on Saturday and three on Sunday. Saturday´s highlight is undoubtedly the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park, a Group One ten furlongs race for 3yo´s and up for which 12 were left in at Monday´s final forfeit stage. The race looks very open, with Aidan O´Brien´s Mount Nelson and Henry Cecil´s pair Phoenix Tower and Multidimensional the best of the older brigade and Godolphin´s front-runner Campanologist the best 3yo.
