Enable to miss York ahead of Arc bid

's Enable will now have her prep run at rather than ahead of the Prix de l'.

The six-year-old returned to winning ways in July as she won the VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes ahead of Sovereign and Japan.

Enable was thought to be heading to York for her next outing, with a third run in the Yorkshire under consideration where she was expected to tackle Aidan O'Brien's Love, but have now confirmed she will head to Kempton.

Teddy Grimthorpe, owner Khalid Abdullah's manager, told reporters: “The Kempton race (September Stakes) worked well a couple of years ago.

“Obviously, the temptation of York was quite a serious one, but we've always made it perfectly clear that the Arc is her main objective.

“The four weeks' timing of the Kempton race before the Arc is probably spot on as well.”

Enable finished second in last year's Arc to Waldgeist, but she won the race in 2017 and 2018.
