So You Think gets Fallon vote of confidence

Kieren Fallon believes that So You Think will be hard to beat in Saturday's Coral-Eclipse Stakes.

The 10-furlong Group One at Sandown sees last year's Derby and Arc hero return to the same course and distance as when making his seasonal reappearance in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes.

Sir Michael Stoute's four year old is set to clash with Prince Of Wales's second So You Think, a winner of six Group One races, who is regarded as one of the best horses to have graced Ballydoyle in Aidan O'Brien's time at the helm.

O'Brien felt he was to blame for the defeat of the ex-Australian superstar at Royal Ascot having left him short of work and Fallon believes that the five year old will be hard to beat if that is the case.

He told his column in the Weekender: "I know the boys at Coolmore are very hopeful of a big run and everything finally seems to be in his favour.

Unlike Workforce, who is brilliant over one mile four, this fellow is better over the Eclipse trip of one mile two and the forecast quick ground won't bother him.

"This looks to be his day when everything is to his advantage."

Much has been made of an uncharacteristic dip in Stoute's form this June but Fallon doesn't believe that that will be a problem for Workforce.

"I know Sir Michael Stoute's team has not been firing on all cylinders this season, but don't let that put you off him as the master will have this horse 100 per cent spot on."
