Deirdre warms up for Enable clash as unexposed three-year-olds scorch the turf

Deirdre and Oisin Murphy head to the Al Bahathri on Wednesday morning

Mitsuru Hashida

Next month's Group 1 Coral-Eclipse will feature not one but two six-year-old mares as the long-time HQ guest is to clash with Enable for the first time. As well as Japan, Hong Kong, Dubai, France and Ireland, Deirdre ticked Saudi Arabia off her bucket list in February and has already paid a visit to Sandown in preparation for the ten-furlong test on Sunday week. Oisin Murphy dropped by to give the daughter of Harbinger a strong breeze on the Al Bahathri Polytrack and was all smiles afterwards.
