Punters stick with Enable despite short price as main rival Magical drifts
The brilliant Enable is a rock-solid favourite to continue her winning run in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks and she came in for further support in the build-up to her final race in Britain.
Khalid Abdullah's homebred superstar, who has won her last 11 starts including two Arcs and King Georges, was cut to between 2-9 and 1-5 from a best price of 2-7 on Thursday morning.
Among the five-year-old's three rivals is old foe Magical, who has finished second to Enable twice and on Thursday morning drifted to a general 5-1 (from 7-2).
There has been money for several of the leading fancies in the Clipper Logistics Handicap (3.00), with the favourite Kynren now no bigger than 5-1 (from 6), Baltic Baron 8-1 (from 10), Firmament 10-1 (from 12), What's The Story 11-1 (from 14), Thrave 11-1 (from 16) and Blackheath 14 (from 25).
