James Tate and Alan Reilly also analyse all the talking points
Where next with Enable – the International, Yorkshire Oaks or straight to the Arc?
Gavin Cromwell, trainer It all depends on how she has come out of her epic battle on Saturday. If she’s none the worse then I’d go for the Yorkshire Oaks but, if she were mine, I’d be training her all around the Arc and making sure she peaked for that Sunday.
Alan Reilly, BoyleSports odds compiler You can understand why the owners might be tempted to win their own race, but should they decide on a Knavesmire target then the Oaks would be a formality. However, she has had two exceptionally hard races within a month so they just might head straight to Paris, which is her ultimate target.
Kieran Shoemark, jockey I’d go straight to the Arc. She was brilliant but it looked like she had a hard race. She was incredible – so was Crystal Ocean, mind you – and she has proven herself, just look at her record. To nail a third Arc would be exceptional and that would be my main target for her now.
