Sandown ideal for Eminent – Meade

Eminent will run on ideal course conditions at in the Coral- Stakes on July 8, according to trainer Martyn Meade.

The colt has performed admirably this season, with victory in the Craven Stakes on his debut before finishing sixth in the Qipco and fourth in the Investec .

Eminent then looked in fine shape during a seven-furlong run at on , leaving Meade looking forward to pitching him into the Eclipse on a track which will suit him well.

“He worked very well and he's on course to go to Sandown at week on Saturday. That's the plan,” said Meade.

Eminent will again go up against Aidan O'Brien's Cliffs Of Moher after their head-to-head at when the latter finished two paces and one length ahead at the line.

And Meade added: “We'll try to make sure we beat him this time! I think it will be a different race to , that's for certain. It's the track that is going to suit us much better than Epsom.

“It's a shorter distance, but I'm quite happy with him over one-mile-two. Hopefully they will go a good gallop there, which will also suit us.

“We're looking forward to it. It's all go for Sandown.”
