Has progressed well and produced a career best when winning a Group 3 at Longchamp last time out. Hasn't always been the quickest away from the stalls and another sizable step forward needed to get competitive here; others preferred.

33/1
Group 3 winner at Ascot last year. Has been a bit below his best so far this campaign and may be here to help ensure a solid pace to aim at for stablemate Magical who is first-string on jockey bookings.

Better than ever when winning the Lockinge in May. Not seen to best effect in the Queen Anne but the step back up in trip is interesting given he won a Listed race over C&D last year at this meeting. Ground in his favour and has each-way claims.

17/2
Won the C&D Brigadier last time in good fashion (Danceteria third) and that form has been boosted by those in behind. This is tougher but fast ground will suit and this lightly raced sort probably has more to come for his shrewd trainer.

20/1
Won the Prix D'Ispahan at Longchamp following his Group 3 success at Newmarket in April. Beaten a long way at Ascot last time and while clearly not at his best that day, he has a fair amount to find on form with several of these.

4/6
A remarkable mare; a seven-time Group 1 winner including two Arcs and a Breeders' Cup Turf success when last seen. Tough race to make a comeback in and will need to be fully tuned up for this but no doubting she's the one to beat on all known form.

11/4
Ran Enable close in the Breeders' Cup Turf, though was in receipt of 4lb from the filly that day. Has landed three Group races already in 2019 and posted a respectable effort at Royal Ascot last time when runner-up to Crystal Ocean; each-way claims.

10/1
Dominant wins at Windsor and York (Group 2 Dante) led him to be prominent in the Derby betting. Clearly well below his best at Epsom when failing to beat a rival home but drop back in trip holds no fears and he's completely unexposed.

Forecasts

Enable (4/6), Magical (11/4), Regal Reality (17/2), Telecaster (10/1), Mustashry (12/1), Zabeel Prince (20/1), Hunting Horn (33/1), Danceteria (50/1)

Verdict

Often a race that works out well having been won by the likes of Sea The Stars, Nathaniel and Golden Horn in the last 10 years and ENABLE can follow in her sire's footsteps and land her eighth Group 1 success provided she's not lacking in race fitness on her return. Telecaster brings in a different form line to the remainder of the field and it's probably worth forgiving his run in the Derby last time. There's a host of each-way chances despite the small field including Sir Michael Stoute's pair but Aidan O'Brien's filly Magical has run Enable close in the past and lost no caste in defeat behind Crystal Ocean at Royal Ascot last time.
  1. Enable
  2. Telecaster
  3. Magical
