    My guess is it was caused by confusion over how Oddschecker has split rows between ‘Japan’ and ‘Japan(IRE)’ Currently Hills have the ‘Japan(IRE)’ version so a quick glance might have suggested that since only one bookie was listing it he was probably not running?

    Can GHAIYYETH* dominate this field from the front? Hasn’t beaten much yet? I doubt it and especially with this strong headwind forecast.

    I always bet Regal Reality, but I just might desert him here, as I can’t see it being anything else than a duel between Enable and Ghaiyyath, but I will wait until tomorrow.

    Having a proper proper bet on enable @5/4, i do not rate ghaiyyath atall, taking that last run out of the mix hes done nothing and if you take strad out that last race and look at the form, its rank

    If she didnt win this, regardless of needing it or not id be absolutely shocked, shes by a mile the best in it, its a group 1, they can pretend she wont be almost fully cooked if they want.

    Japans a top prospect over 12f, but hes now having to give her weight, no chance.

    I tend to agree tbh

    Ghaiyyath ran a very fast time but so did every horse that week

    On the bare form he beat AVD by 2 and a half lengths

    I’d expect both enable and Japan to have beaten him by much further than that

    Ghaiyyath thrives when fresh and exposes horses who struggle to keep up with his cruising speed, enable to my eye always had a very high cruising speed and I’d be surprised if ghaiyyath can take her out of her comfort zone

    Iv had a little bet on Japan and Deirdre just in case enable really needs the run and I can see magic wand trying to spoil ghaiyyaths race

    If it helps boost confidence ham GHAIYAFFs win came with a strong tail wind against a stayer and a disappointing ANTHONY VAN DYKE
    His previous win was against handicappers a very weak group 3 albeit he cruised it. Adding that there is a very strong headwind tomorrow (if my forecast is right) and with JAPANS last run disappointing i think ENABLE just gets up imo

    I’ll side with Enable here, but she’s just too short a price.

    My ideal result would be for Regal Reality to finish runner up, but I will watch this without a bet.

    I will enjoy watching this but doubt I will have a bet. I hope Enable wins.

    Strong headwind today as mentioned let’s see if GHAIYEFF route these genuine group 1 horses from the front

    Charlie’s superstar Ghaiyaath to make history and become Applebys first ever 4yo+ winner at Sandown.

    Two taps on enable, never gave her a hard time which im disappointed about.

    But no excuses, younger enable at “85%”would have won that, so ill be avoiding her from here on! Id expect the younger bunch love etc to be to good now!

    I still do not rate the winner, i cannot take to him
