Frankie Dettoriand Enable win

The Coral-Eclipse

Deep into the summer, thoughts

turn to holiday sun, Ashes

cricket and Glorious Goodwood.

There’s also the reappearence

of Eclipse heroine Enable in

York’s Lockinge Stakes to look

forward to.

We’ve sent our experts out to

find you some horses to back in

the coming months, if not years.

Ian Heitman, our two-year-old

specialist found some exciting

young talent at the Curragh and

Newmarket while Andrew Ayres

cast his weathered eye over the

paddock and found several he

liked.

New this month is John

Anthony’s feature Losers to

Winners - horses that went close

last time and could be winning

next time. Here’s hoping.
