2017 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) is pleasing trainer John Gosden as she continues to build towards a planned late-summer return in York's Aug. 22 G1 Juddmonte International. A five-time winner at the highest level, the Khalid Abdullah colourbearer sustained an early-season setback which resulted in an enforced absence from the racecourse.
“Enable is happy and well and she's moving nicely at home,” said trainer John Gosden. “Plan A is the Juddmonte, if that comes too soon, Plan B will be the [G1] Prix Vermeille [at ParisLongchamp on Sept. 16].”
Fellow Gosden runner Legends Of War (Scat Daddy), who was a leading fancy in Tuesday's G2 Coventry S. after a win at Yarmouth, is instead heading for the G2 Arqana July S. at Newmarket on July 12.
“We are looking towards the July S. with him,” said Gosden. “He has just started cantering again. He got a bit of mucus on him. He was not quite right in himself and his blood was wrong. He did a couple of coughs and I had to back off him. Hopefully I will have him primed for the July S.”
