Race preview
THUNDER ECLIPSE might win in first-time cheek-pieces. He has shown useful ability in his three runs todate and while vulnerable to more capable types, his recent Listowel conqueror The Acropolis did manage a mid-field finish in Tuesday's Covernty Stakes at Royal Ascot, with trip and ground in his favour today. Jarvis ran a nice race on debut at Cork (Castle Star was second) and met significant trouble in-running at Fairyhouse on his latest start, when eased in the closing stages. He looks capable of much better today. Snapius stayed on late at Listowel latest and can get involved for the placings today. Duvet Day, a 47,000gns foal purchase, is a half-sister to useful jumper A Wave Of The Sea while Nectarine is the second foal from her dam whose first foal won aged two. Pessoa is a half-brother to three winners, one of which was Group-placed.
