Sea The Stars strong favourite for Coral-Eclipse

Sea The Stars aims to become first Derby winner in twenty years to win Coral-Eclipse

Derby winner Sea The Stars has been shortened to 8/11 with most firms for the Coral-Eclipse on Saturday.

Sponsors Coral are 4/6 with William Hill on Friday morning a best priced 4/6.

The dual Classic winner is seen by many as a certainly to win in his first attempt at 1m2f, which has led to Skybet opening a market on how far he will win by.

Skybet offer 4/1 on Sea The Stars winning by up to and including one length and 9/2 on the winning margin being over one length and up to and including two lengths.

Over two lengths and up to and including three lengths is 11/2 with 5/1 on the winning distance being over three lengths.

Should Sea The Stars win, he would be the first Derby winner since Nashwan to win the Coral-Eclipse - and that was in 1989.

Coral director of trading and PR Simon Clare said: "We initially offered 5-4 at the start of the week but he has been backed at all rates down to 4-6, and the weight of public support on Saturday, both at the track and in the shops, could well see him start 1-2 or even shorter."
