Enable and Cracksman heading to Arc


John Gosden provided a positive update on on the brilliant Enable, who is a hot favourite to successfully defend her crown in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in a fortnight's time following her foot-perfect comeback at Kempton earlier this month.

Gosden said: "She has been good since the race at Kempton and we are happy with her. She has been cantering away. We are just building her up to the Arc and we are happy with her progress and she seems well in herself.

"Hopefully they will get a bit of rain in Paris as I thought the ground was a bit fast there last week, which is not entirely her scene as she appreciates getting her toe in. She will do a couple of pieces of work between now and then."

Enable is Sky Bet's 11/10 favourite for the Arc (non-runner/no bet and four places).

Enable is set to be joined in the field by stablemate Cracksman (6/1 with Sky Bet) - provided conditions are in his favour.

The Frankel colt has not quite discovered his best form so far this season, but has enjoyed a break since suffering a shock defeat in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.

Speaking in the rain in Newmarket, Gosden added: "Cracksman is building up for the Arc as well. If we get the rain there he will be running there, if not we will wait for the Champion Stakes.

"He worked yesterday and he is coming back. He very much enjoys this type of weather."
