News

Enable looks unlikely to face anything like the calibre of opposition she encountered in the September Stakes two years ago when she heads back to Kempton on Saturday for her final prep ahead of a historic fourth crack at the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

When nine entries were revealed on Monday the presence of stablemate and companion-in-colours Logician in the list raised a few pulses, but last season's St Leger hero will not make his belated seasonal reappearance in the Unibet-sponsored Group 3.

Logician was unbeaten in five starts at three but has not been sighted since storming to success at Doncaster almost a year ago. However, Khalid Abdullah's racing manager, Teddy Grimthorpe, scotched any prospect of Logician facing Enable at Kempton. 

"They won't both run and Logician has just been put in there as a precaution," said Grimthorpe. 

Charlie Appleby will leave it late before firming up riding plans for Pinatubo in France on Sunday, as he waits to see if any changes will be made to Covid-19 quarantine policies.
