ASCOT POSSIBILITY

John Gosden’s Enable still has the option of running in the King George on Saturday

Trainer John Gosden had originally ruled out the King George after her Irish Oaks win and although she is still not certain to run connections are keeping the option open

Superstar filly Enable will not run until at least August

ENABLE could still run in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes next week.

Connections of the dual Oaks winner are planning to leave her in at the confirmation stage on Monday, although she is not certain to run.

The Ascot Group 1 had initially been ruled an unlikely option with the Darley Yorkshire Oaks at York nominated as a possible target.

Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner Khalid Abdullah, said: "Enable will be left in the King George on Monday, so she will still have the option (of running).

"I'm not saying we are definitely going to think about running, but John is keen to see how she is in the early part of the week. In theory, she could do both (Ascot and York)."

Bookmaker Paddy Power put the filly back into its ante-post market on Sunday afternoon, offering 2-1 about Enable's chances.
