Underrated Masar to shock the world at Sandown

Another huge weekend of racing with the feature being the Coral Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park at 2.10 and a chance for MASAR (nb) to make his mark on racing history.
The Epsom Derby winner is a hugely underrated athlete and the way he swamped his field at Epsom was superb and The Roaring Lion and overrated Saxon Warrior are unlikely to turn that form around.
Saxon Warrior is stepping back in trip, but I feel Aidan O’Brien needed to be more radical and step him back to a mile and the Sussex Stakes would surely have been more appropriate.
