ENABLE has landed two Classics and a Group 1 against her elders this summer, proving herself to be way out of the ordinary in doing so. She sets a lofty standard and it requires a leap of faith to envisage a scenario in which she gets beaten today. The rain that has arrived this week must be a worry for supporters of Queen's Trust and Nezwaah , so the likes of Abingdon or Alluringly might fancy their chances of grabbing extra prize money with soft ground no issue.
