Verdict

With first-hand opportunities becoming increasingly rare to see the remarkable mare Enable in action, it's most unfortunate that circumstances dictate that the paying public are unable to be at Sandown Park as she defends her Coral Eclipse crown. Her trainer John Gosden has indicated that she isn't as far forward as in previous seasons (has had a recent racecourse gallop) and that clearly makes her vulnerable against the sensational Coronation Cup winner GHAIYYATH. Godolphin's exuberant front-runner should be even better suited by dropping back in trip (to 1m2f), and barring a deluge of rain (isn't forecast), is strongly fancied to maintain his unbeaten record in 2020.
