Enbihaar to pick up fourth win

RACING: Gosden’s filly can continue her improvemen­t

- THE FERRET

ENBIHAAR is difficult to oppose as she goes in search of her fourth win of the season in the DFS Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster.

John Gosden’s filly kicked off her campaign in the best possible way when claiming a valuable Listed success at Goodwood in May, after which she had to make do with the runner-up spot in a Group Three at York.

However, the daughter of Redoute’s Choice has blossomed since, with a narrow verdict in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock followed by a hugely impressive display in the Lillie Langtry Stakes back at Goodwood under a Group Two penalty.

Course-and-distance winner ALPEN ROSE gets the nod in what looks a quality renewal of the William Hill May Hill Stakes.

The Sea The Stars filly looked a certain future winner when charging home to fill the runner-up spot on her Newmarket debut, so it was no surprise to see her go one better at the next time of asking here three and a half weeks ago.

Despite winning, Charlie Appleby’s inmate still looked green in front, and there is every chance she will improve significan­tly.

The Peter Hedger-trained C’EST NO MOUR is out to complete another Derby double at Epsom Downs. The six-year-old won the Amateurs’ Derby and the Jump Jockeys’ Derby in 2017 and is bidding to repeat the feat this year, having landed the former race for a second time in a first-time visor last month.

The handicappe­r has handed him a 3lb rise, but his current mark of 79 is still a couple of pounds below the rating off which he won this race two years ago – and this track brings out the best in him.

It is easy to make a case for SECRET POTION in the Chepstow Handicap at the Monmouthsh­ire circuit.

The five-year-old has won three times this year, most recently finishing with a flourish to prevail over this course and distance.
