Not at her best but brilliant Enable too good with surely yet more to come

While not needing to match her very best form, Enable left the strong impression that she's as good as ever in winning the Coral-Eclipse on Saturday, producing a Racing Post Rating of 124+ despite conceding race fitness to her rivals over a trip short of her best.

She also didn't quite replicate her three-year-old form (129) in last year's three victories, but that's not to say she can't. Even on this form she'll take all the beating over a mile and a half, and although this form ties her in closely with Prince of Wales's victor Crystal Ocean through Magical she'll surely improve for the run.

The Eclipse form itself looks sound, with Magical (122) giving her pacemaker Hunting Horn a similar beating to Ascot, and the improving Regal Reality finding further progress to an RPR of 121 in backing up his previous course-and-distance defeat of subsequent winner Matterhorn.
