Alluringly and Enable could clash again

Alluringly could be set for another crack at Enable in Thursday's Darley Yorkshire Oaks at York.

Aidan O'Brien's filly returned to her best when getting up late to land the Hurry Harriet Stakes at Gowran Park on Wednesday and could get another chance to turn the tables on Enable who beat Alluringly at Chester and Epsom earlier in the season.

John Gosden's dual Oaks heroine stepped up to beat the boys in brilliant style in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot last month and will undoubtedly be a warm order to clinch her fourth Group One success of the season en-route to a potential tilt at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Gosden, who has won the Yorkshire Oaks twice before with Dar Re Mi (2009) and The Fugue (2013), has also confirmed Journey and Coronet.

"Enable is happy and well. This was part of the original plan and hopefully we'll be there," said Gosden.

Sir Michael Stoute has saddled a joint-record nine previous winners of the prestigious York contest and could call upon Abingdon and Queen's Trust.

Roger Varian's Pretty Polly Stakes heroine Nezwaah, Saeed bin Suroor's Natural Scenery and Turret Rocks from Jim Bolger's Irish yard make up the field.
