John Gosden’s Enable has Yorkshire Oaks aim before a shot at the Arc
Enable has already won the English and Irish Oaks this season before a brilliant win in the King George on her last start and she could run at York before a tilt at the Arc
KING George heroine Enable is on course for the Darley Yorkshire Oaks later this month.
John Gosden's winner was a stunning winner of the King George at Ascot last time out, and she is set to head to York on August 24 where she is a general 1-3 shot to claim her fourth Group 1 win of the season.
Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner Khalid Abdullah, said: "Enable is fine. She has not done much since Ascot, but she has come out of the race very well.
"I would hope she will now go to the Yorkshire Oaks.
"Hopefully she will continue to do well and be aimed at the highest races. We are hoping she will get to the Arc.
"Physically she did very well over the winter and we hoped she would turn out to be a good mile-and-a-half filly. It is fair to say she has exceeded our expectations."
Enable could clash with fellow Abdullah-owned runner Mori on the Knavesmire, with Grimthorpe not ruling out the Ribblesdale runner-up.
Grimthorpe added: "Mori was fine after Ascot. She is in the Yorkshire Oaks and we could obviously look at that, but it depends on the other filly (Enable). We will just have to see."
A return trip to France could be on the agenda for the Gosden-trained Shutter Speed, after soft ground forced her to miss an outing in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood last week.
Grimthorpe said: "We are looking at various options for Shutter Speed.

"She might possibly go for the Prix de la Nonette which is a Group 2 at Deauville and she has the option of looking at the Matron later on. She just doesn't want soft ground.
"Nothing is really ironed out with her yet as the Nassau was so much in our thoughts. I've got to re-group with John and see how she is and then try to map out a bit of a campaign."
