HAWKBILL is to be supplemented for Saturday’s Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.
The Charlie Appleby-trained three-year-old will head to the Esher venue on the crest of a wave having won his last five starts.
The most recent of those wins came in the Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot and connections feel he is ready to step up to the highest level.
John Ferguson, Godolphin’s chief executive and racing manager, said: “Charlie is very happy with how Hawkbill has been training since Ascot.
“He is taking a step up, but we feel he deserves to take his chance.”
Godolphin last won the Eclipse in 2004 with Refuse To Bend.
