Trainer views and verdicts of the key runners in the Arc

Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to Khalid Abdullah, owner of Enable
Enable has come out of the Yorkshire Oaks in good shape and is on course for her bid to win her third straight Arc in October. Any decision to target any other races beyond that will be taken after she has run in Paris.

Sir Michael Stoute, trainer of Crystal Ocean
Crystal Ocean seems fine after his run in the Juddmonte International at York but it's too soon to know where he'll run next. He's in the Arc and he also holds other entries including in the Irish Champion Stakes.

Aidan O'Brien, trainer of Japan, Magical, Broome, Sir Dragonet
Japan seems to be fine after York. We were very happy with him there and the Arc is definitely an option. He could go to Leopardstown next for the Irish Champion Stakes but nothing has been decided yet. Magical was just ready to start back again at York and she should come on plenty for the run. Broome is a possible for the St Leger before the Arc but not a definite, while Sir Dragonet has options with Doncaster, France or the Irish Champion Stakes. He will improve from his recent run at the Curragh and we have yet to decide where he will go.
