ENABLE’S win in the Investec Oaks at Epsom last Friday was good news on the double for Newsells Park Stud. Not only do they stand her sire Nathaniel, but last December at Tattersalls they gave 150,000gns for the unraced Oasis Dream filly Birchwood, Enable’s year older half-sister.

Enable is from the first crop of Nathaniel, a Group 1 winning son of Galileo. Runner-up on both his stats at two, once to Frankel, Nathaniel won three of his five starts in his second season, the highlight being his defeat of Workforce and St Nicholas Abbey in the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.
