Eddery's Fire has a sporting chance Pat Eddery can list the QEII among the many great races he won as a jockey on his CV and on Saturday he tries to win it as a trainer. The most famous of his victories came when Guy Harwood's Warning won in 1988, giving Eddery his second successive win in the race after Milligram. He runs Hearts Of Fire this year, a Group One winner as a juvenile and third in the St James's Palace Stakes earlier this season. "The only bad run he's ever had was in the Guineas and when he came back he had a bit of a cough on him," said Eddery. "Since then I've been very happy with him. He's in good form and he'll go there with a sporting chance and I'm really looking forward to running him. "His last race at Salisbury behind Sea Lord was a funny run race but the time was excellent. "Obviously the favourite (Makfi) is going to be tough to beat. When he won last time in France he was very impressive. He beat a champion mare (Goldikova) and Paco Boy and they were miles clear of the rest. He cruised all the way. "You never know, he got beat at Ascot before and I know he had a bit of a throat problem but we can cling to that. "My horse is healthy, he's well and he's working good. Robert (Winston) came down to sit on him yesterday morning, he gave him his last bit of work. "When I won this race on Warning he was very impressive, he would have been one of the best milers I ever rode. "We've got a good draw, we're on the inside so we'll jump and see what sort of pace they go."
