Emily Upjohn and Paddington are among the star names to have stood their ground for Saturday's G1 Coral-Eclipse S. as they feature among the six horses left in the Sandown showpiece.

The John and Thady Gosden-trained Emily Upjohn made a tremendous start to her campaign in the Coronation Cup at Epsom last month and will revert in trip for the Coral-Eclipse with William Buick set to take over from the suspended Frankie Dettori.

Aidan O'Brien said last week that a step up in distance was under consideration for his Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace S. hero Paddington and that colt was left in the race on Monday along with his stablemate Luxembourg.

The latter notched his third Group One win in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh in May and has since gone on to finish second to Mostahdaf in the Prince of Wales's S. at Royal Ascot.

The Owen Burrows-trained Anmaat is in line to bid for back-to-back top-level wins after landing the Prix d'Ispahan on his latest appearance, while Dubai Honour may return from a short break after winning two Group Ones in Australia and finishing third in the QEII Cup in Hong Kong earlier in the year.

The potential line-up is completed by Simon and Ed Crisford's West Wind Blows, who produced a career-best when second to Pyledriver in the Hardwicke S. at the royal meeting.
