Enbihaar ready to defend Lillie Langtry title
Quick ground set to suit Gosden mare.
Enbihaar is expected to put up a staunch defence of her crown in the Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood on Saturday. John Gosden’s mare was a hugely impressive five-length winner of the one-mile-six-furlong contest 12 months ago – one of three victories for her at Group Two level in 2019 when she also landed the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock and Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster. Having had to make do with minor honours behind stablemate Anapurna when stepped up to Group One company for the Prix de Royallieu at ParisLongchamp in October, Enbihaar has been kept in training as a five-year-old with the hope of breaking her top-level duck. The daughter of Redoute’s Choice could finish only fourth on her reappearance in the Princes of Wales’s Stakes at Newmarket little over three weeks ago, but connections are confident of an improved performance on the Sussex Downs.Manuela De Vega wins the @bet365 Lancashire Oaks under @HarryBentley_ at @haydockraces 👏pic.twitter.com/0yWqRz3NCy
