No jockey has won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe more times than Frankie Dettori. His five victories exceed what anybody else has achieved and I think Frankie will extend his record again on Sunday courtesy of the magnificent Enable.

I know you won't get rich backing her, and I know tipping her to win is hardly original or exciting, but I am genuinely full of confidence that she will do what Treve did only four years ago and show herself to be one of the sport's all-time greats through back-to-back triumphs.

The Arc is a prize I would have loved to win, and I did come close when finishing second aboard Youmzain. For Frankie, winning the Arc has become practically a pastime, particularly since he rejoined John Gosden, and although this has been a very different sort of season for Enable, compared to the one she enjoyed last year, she is once again a red-hot favourite and deservedly so.
