    Verdict

    Even if the Ballydoyle trio conspire to make life interesting for ENABLE, John Gosden’s superstar mare should still have more than enough to land this Group 1 for the third time in four years. Anthony Van Dyck finished tailed off last year and hasn’t won since last season’s Derby when Japan was beaten half-a-length in third and Sovereign was 10th. Ryan Moore’s mount was only a head behind the favourite in the Coral-Eclipse but that was over 1m2f and it’s asking a lot for him to reverse the form over this trip.
