Enable on track for Juddmonte International at York


Enable is pleasing trainer John Gosden as she continues to build towards a planned late-summer return.

The four-year-old ended last season unbeaten in five Group One outings, culminating in an impressive victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in October.

However, an early-season setback saw her ruled out of the first part of the current campaign, with Gosden and owner Khalid Abdullah now eyeing the Juddmonte International at York on August 22 as a potential starting point.

Gosden said: "Enable is happy and well and she's moving nicely at home.

"Plan A is the Juddmonte, if that comes too soon, Plan B will be the Prix Vermeille (at ParisLongchamp on September 16)."

Legends set for July Stakes

Legends Of War has the Arqana July Stakes at Newmarket on July 12 as his target after missing Royal Ascot.

John Gosden's expensive youngster made a sparkling winning debut at Yarmouth and was well fancied for the Coventry Stakes.

However, as he was not quite 100 per cent Gosden decided he would be better off giving him more time.

"We are looking towards the July Stakes with him. He has just started cantering again," said Gosden.

"He got a bit of mucus on him. He was not quite right in himself and his blood was wrong. He did a couple of coughs and I had to back off him.

"Hopefully I will have him primed for the July Stakes."

He added: "He was going to go there (Ascot) and he would have run there with Calyx, but we are going to go for another Group Two at another meeting."
