Remarkable mare, a dual Arc and King George winner who bids for a tenth Group 1 success here in a race she won back in 2017. Outbattled Magical in the Eclipse, and Crystal Ocean at Ascot last time, and she's hard to oppose on all known form.
Stablemate of Enable who looked a star when winning the Listed Galtres Stakes by 10L on this card last year. Bit disappointing since winning here in the spring, and a big shock if she can upstage the yard's first string here.
Ran Enable close in the Breeders' Cup Turf, and winner of her first three starts this season. Again found Enable too strong when ¾L second in the Eclipse, but is a clear second best, and the only realistic danger to the favourite.
Has won a Bellewstown maiden and a 1¾m Listed race at Leopardstown this year, but her limitations have been exposed at higher level, and appears to be acting as a pacemaker for Magical here.
Forecasts
Enable (1/4), Magical (4/1), Lah Ti Dar (11/1), South Sea Pearl (100/1)
ENABLE will probably need to be near her best to beat old rival Magical, who has got close to her in both the Breeders' cup Turf and the Eclipse, but John Gosden's superstar mare keeps getting the job done, and can reel off her 12th straight win, and her tenth at Group 1 level. Lah Ti Dar would have a chance on the form she showed when running away with the Galtres Stakes a year ago, but she's not really gone on as expected since.
