THE opening event of an all-weather meeting at Kempton was an improbable spot for the reappearance of one of the best fillies of modern times. However that was what transpired on Saturday when Enable took on the King George runner-up Crystal Ocean and two no-hopers in the Group 3 September Stakes.

Looking big and well beforehand, if rather keen to get on with things, Enable benefited from setting soft fractions but was little more than a length up on her main rival before going into overdrive to power through the last three furlongs in approximately 34.2s. Crystal Ocean tried hard but could not lay a glove on Enable and came home three and a half lengths in arrears.
