Enable: Willie Carson can't see anything stopping her winning an historic third King GeorgeCredit: Edward Whitaker

Can either of the Ballydoyle pair stop Enable?

Willie Carson, former champion jockey Anything is possible in a horserace but she’s got all the ammunition to win the race. It looks like Frankie will make the running and I don’t think that will inconvenience her. She’d need to have an off day to get beat.

Padraig Hassett, BoyleSports No – I’d expect Enable to come on a lot for her first run back. If Japan couldn’t finish in front of her last time it’s very hard to see him reversing it here.

Keith Melrose, betting editor Those hoping Japan can beat her are relying on his connections playing the long game, as if you consider he had race fitness on Enable in the Eclipse then it is hard to see him reversing the form. Enable might not be quite the horse she was, but her Eclipse run was a Group 1 performance on her first run of the season so I think she is justified in being just the right side of 1-2.
