ENABLE will start her season

– which she hopes will bring an historic third victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe – in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown on July 5, a race she won last year.

A trip to Royal Ascot was also under consideration but Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager for owner Khalid Abdullah, said: “It’s like everything. There’s always various decisions to be made and the Arc is the ultimate aim again, so we hope this is the best course.”

Enable heads the betting at 11-10 with the sponsors to make it back-to-back wins at Sandown.
