Eclipse Stakes - Final (Nottingham)

It has been billed as the race of the year and the Sky Sports cameras are at Nottingham for a tremendous Betfred Eclipse final (9.08) tonight.

Six stars of the track do battle for the £8,000 first prize over 500m in one of the best finals in recent memory and it really is a race to savour.

Bubbly Bluebird brings an unbeaten record into the final as he looks to go two better than his third 12 months ago and Paul Young's speedster will attempt to blaze a trail again, but the competition could hardly be more fierce.

Select Stakes hero Dorotas Wildcat and All England Cup winner Droopys Expert bounced back to their best with semi-final victories and also bring good early speed to the party.

Exciting litter brothers Calico Blackjack and Calico Ranger will be looking to come with their crowd-pleasing late runs and could be in business if there is crowding on the inside.

The only finalist without a victory in the event so far is Bruisers Bullet (T1), but he gets his draw on the rails when it matters most and could make that count.

The Derby semi-finalist only failed to reel in Bubbly Bluebird by a neck last Monday when he found trouble in the black jacket again, and a much better start is expected now switched to the fence.

Those two runs back from a long layoff should have Mark Wallis' dog spot-on for this decider and his position on the rails could see him squeeze round in front when they race into that first bend.

:ok
