Enable looks unstoppabl­e in York test

Gosden-trained filly unlikely to be troubled in bid for Group One four-timer

- The ferreT

ENABLE can make it a Group One four-timer in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks at York.

The John Gosden-trained threeyear-old, wearing the Khalid Abdullah colours immortalis­ed by Frankel, has been the shining light of the summer with brilliant wins in the English and Irish Oaks and lately the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Her impressive victory over the colts and older horses at Ascot last month, with Coral-Eclipse scorer Ulysses well held in second place, stamped her as a very special filly.

It is no wonder the daughter of Nathaniel is hot favourite in the antepost betting for the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Chantilly on October 1.

Hopefully, the Group One Pretty Polly Stakes heroine Nezwaah will give her a race, but it would be a major surprise if Enable does not justify her prohibitiv­e odds.

MORI can give Enable’s owner a double by winning the British EBF & Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes.

Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, the daughter of Frankel, who is also out of Group One winner Midday, is already a

Listed scorer and was only beaten a neck by Coronet in the Group Two Ribblesdal­e Stakes at Royal Ascot.

A repeat of that effort should see her as the one to beat.

THREADING can overcome her inexperien­ce by winning the Sky Bet Lowther Stakes on her second start.

The Mark Johnston-trained juvenile could not have been more impressive on her debut at Glorious Goodwood where she trotted up by six lengths from 14 rivals in a six-furlong maiden.

She has no doubt shown the benefit of that run in her homework, prompting connection­s to take the plunge and stump up £15,000 to supplement her for this Group Two heat. Ed Dunlop’s Newmarket raider
