'Pinatubo needs a flat track' - James Tate and our panel debate the big issues
Trainer William Muir and jockey Billy Lee join the Monday Jury
We could see Ghaiyyath versus Enable in the Eclipse. Who would you be siding with at this early stage?
James Hill, tipster Enable's no great price at even-money, but Khalid Abdullah's magic mare would still get my vote. Brilliant though Ghaiyyath was on Friday, he had plenty in his favour, including a fitness edge at a track where he clearly thrives. An all-out gallop will be much harder to accomplish at Sandown.
Billy Lee, jockey Ghaiyyath's performance in the Coronation Cup was brilliant but I love Enable's attitude and versatility. I think she would win it.
William Muir, trainer I think I'd go with Enable. I was impressed with Ghaiyyath in the Coronation Cup but the way he runs makes him the type to set the race up perfectly for Enable to come and swoop. She's been the biggest name in racing for the last couple of years and it would be great for the sport if she could come out and be as good as ever this season.
