Racing News Round-Up
- Coral-Eclipse picture sharpens: Saturday’s Coral-Eclipse remains the main talking point of the week, with Aidan O’Brien set to run both Constitution River and Hawk Mountain at Sandown. Constitution River remains prominent at the head of the market, while Hawk Mountain adds another major Ballydoyle angle to one of the summer’s biggest Group 1 races.
- Kempton takes centre stage for big-name NAPs: Thursday’s evening all-weather card has attracted plenty of attention from the leading tipsters, with Templegate, Robin Goodfellow and Newsboy all putting up runners at Kempton. That gives the later card extra betting interest alongside the afternoon action at Nottingham, Perth and Yarmouth.
