Can anything stop Enable in the quest for Arc glory?

Gosden filly remains strong favourite

With just a few days to go until the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, the question on everyone’s lips is, ‘Can anything stop Enable?’

Europe’s most prestigious race, run at Chantilly, is the third-richest racing contest in the world. 

The €120,000 it cost to supplement Enable for this biggie will be a drop in the ocean if she wins.

With stablemate Cracksman officially ruled out, John Gosden’s three-year-old has consolidated her original favouritism.

Frankie Dettori is on board with the 49-year-old star looking to make history with a fifth Arc triumph.

Enable has been a model of consistency and world-class quality all season, with four Group One wins in a row to her name.

However, the Arc will be her biggest test yet. And the field – while not a classic – remains highly competitive.

High hopes for Ulysses

Going by the odds, Sir Michael Stoute’s Ulysses looks the pick of the outside bunch.

The four-year-old son of Galileo has struck Group One gold twice this season, winning the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown and the Juddmonte International.

However, there are concerns over his gas tank as he visibly tired near the end of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Enable beat him by nearly five lengths that day. He did go on to win the Juddmonte at York after that and connections are confident of a good run here.
