Is Enable your idea of the Arc winner?

Pietro Innocenzi, The Edge

First things first, the King George is nowhere near the race it was and Enable had every right to win in such a decisive manner given the overly generous weight allowances.

Nitpicking aside, there is no doubt she is easily the best middle-distance three-year-old in Britain and even though the King George was an average Group 1, only exceptional horses travel through them in the manner she did.

Her strongest rivals are likely to be French-trained, but she has now completed a Group 1 hat-trick without being remotely in danger and I would rather be a backer than a layer at around 2-1 in what appears a less than vintage year.

Nine weeks is a long time in racing and that is the concern over taking a short price about Enable for Chantilly on October 1.

However, a glance at the ante-post betting lists confirms she has the race at her mercy, notwithstanding a Japanese challenge, after showing softer ground holds no fears.

She looks the complete package now – even if there is a feeling few ran their race in the conditions – and even runner-up Ulysses, who looked a danger at his Eclipse-winning trip, might not have been seen to best effect.

Enable thrives on a fast-run race so another tactical affair around Chantilly would be the only other worry.

She's very much the horse of the year right now after that display and if the Arc were next month you'd say 9-4 was a good price, but the race remains a way off and Enable has now run five times this year.

She's in need of a break but might not be the type who's best fresh (the only time she's been beaten was first time up this term) and a prep run would perhaps be needed beforehand.

Remember, Ascot was not the initial plan for this filly, and John Gosden now faces some tricky decisions – and he'll know the French will have campaigned their horses right through the season to peak in autumn time.
