Fastnet RockTrained by William Haggas, Enstar scored a length and a quarter win in the Listed British Stallion Studs EBF Lyric Fillies' Stakes over 1m 2 ½ furlongs and has now won three of nine starts.

A 260,000 guinea purchase from the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale for John Warren Bloodstock, Entsar runs for Al Shaqab Racing, who are now going to retire the filly to stud.
