Its probably fair to assume that when John Gosden chose the G3 September S. at Kempton on Saturday as the comeback run for Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), he would have been surprised if the brilliant filly wasn't the highest rated performer in the 5-runner field. That accolade belongs to Crystal Ocean (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), rated a pound superior to the Juddmonte filly and surprisingly pitched in by his trainer Sir Michael Stoute to form an intriguing and unexpected clash in what is normally a relatively minor race in the European pattern. Frankie Dettori has never been beaten on Enable and he resumes the partnership on Saturday and the five-time Group 1 winner is well treated by the race conditions, receiving 8lbs from Crystal Ocean. The mile and a half event on Kempton's Polytrack will be shown live on ITV Racing at 2.05pm.
