THEY are calling it the English Arc – so it couldn’t be more apt than if the winner of the real thing for the last two years does the business at Ascot.
I’m at York this afternoon, but even most of the punters there will be watching when Enable goes for the King George VI over 200 miles away. I can see why John Gosden says it’s not a gimme, because with Crystal Ocean and Anthony Van Dyck in there, it certainly isn’t.
But she has won her last ten, she’s the best horse in training and it’s hard to find a chink in her armour.
She’s tactically very versatile, you can sit her wherever you like in a race and I’m sure she is a dream to ride. The only slight thing against her might be rattling fast ground.
This is really the first real test of a three-year-old against the best older horses, because Telecaster didn’t run his race in the Eclipse, and she has to give Anthony Van Dyck 8lbs.
But even though that one is a Derby winner, and Crystal Ocean has improved again from last year, you just can’t tip against Enable.
I’ve only ridden against her once – last time in the Eclipse – when Danceteria ran a cracker to finish fourth. Funnily enough I’m on him again this weekend, when he goes for a Group 1 in Munich tomorrow, and he should have a good chance.
It’s a busy weekend for me, because before that I’ve got four at York, and they should all give me a good spin. I’m on Tommy Taylor in the Get Knotted handicap, and he loves it here.
He’s been a bit disappointing this season, but because of that he’s rated 9lbs lower than when I rode him to finish fifth here last year. If he’s in the same mood, he’d go close.
Then I am on Savalas in the Skybet Dash, and it’s a similar story of a horse who has come down the ratings.

He looked to be coming back to form last time, ran second in the big three-year-old handicap here a year ago, and seems to be on track for a decent run.
I rode Abstemious (3.45) in his one run so far and he’s a lovely big horse. He got a bit tired on his debut and I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t win today.
Then I finish with Mixboy (4.20) and this is a lot more realistic than the Ascot Stakes last time out.
He pulled up there, but everything is tickety boo again, he looks back on track and is the class horse in the race.
