Retirement plans for Camelot could be put on hold as he remains in the mix for Saturday's Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.

Connections had considered retiring last year's dual Derby winner following defeats in the Tattersalls Gold Cup and the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot but they have left the four year old in the Group One contest at the latest confirmation stage.

The Montjeu colt is one of three possible runners for Aidan O'Brien with impressive Queen Anne Stakes winner Declaration Of War joined by the promising St James's Palace Stakes third Mars.

The latter is the only three year old in the eight strong entry which is headed by Al Kazeem, conqueror of Camelot on the pair's last two starts.

Mukhadram, second at Royal Ascot, could re-oppose Roger Charlton's five year old with Miblish, Pastorius and The Fugue completing the potential runners.
