I think 12f could bring out the best in her, and at 25/1 she could provide a decent returnYa, a few high profile races for Gosden's charges eg So Mi Dar (Epsom/Sandown), Jack Hobbs (PoW), Enable (KG) and now Cracksman (Voltigeur/no Leger) had left sour tastes for antepost punters and puzzling to most.

It's a race that seems to lose more lustre every year.

Enable missing the King George along with Cracksman. Why? The Yorkshire Oaks and Great Voltigeur are hardly career making targets ffs. He screwed up Taghrooda by running her in the Yorkshire Oaks.

Possibly the best middle distance 3yo in Europe?

I have her Oaks win as the best winning performance in that race for more than 30 years, so she really ought to win this easily. It looked quite a tough race at Epsom but she's had 6 weekshttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30846685/epsom-oaks-2017?post_id=552350237#552350237Interesting to see how Enable performs today at the Curragh.
