Billy Loughnane and Bow Echo are three from three in 2026 after winning the Sussex Stakes

Paddock updates

11 Puerto Rico - in good order again, presenting similar to Ascot

12 Zavateri - compact sprinting type but has improved physically, grown a little and makes more appeal than price suggests

10 Gstaad - reached his fitness level now, hasn’t improved from Ascot, muscular and solid

7 Ten Bob Tony - in good order again, athletic and loose walking

8 Bow Echo - two handlers and has had a little kick out in the pre-parade, did the same before the Guineas; very much similar to Ascot

2 Lake Forest - looks a little poor and subdued after yesterday, wouldn’t appeal

6 Seagulls Eleven - two handlers, on his toes; very much normal paddock behaviour and would be more concerned if he wasn’t

9 Dorset - rangy athletic type, no issues

3 Never So Brave - has got very warm and tense, others preferred

4 Opera Ballo - sturdy sort, always presents a little heavy over the ribs, fine for him

5 Qirat - fine, but nowhere near as good as he was last year

1 Docklands - lovely horse, always presents well, fit and fine for him

Paddock verdict

8 Bow Echo best, has a lovely intelligent way about him and had a kick about like he did before the Guineas. 12 Zavateri offers best alternative, over priced.

Reaction from winning connections

Winning rider Billy Loughnane told ITV Racing: "Hopefully that can silence them [the doubters]!

"What a superstar of a horse - I feel so privileged to ride him.

"They made life difficult for him, I knew the pace would be on though and that plays to his strengths. I had to wait to get out, but once I did he showed how good he is."

Reaction from winning connections

Winning rider Sean Levey told ITV Racing: "She is decent. She's very quick and she's learned how to race properly. She's behind the bit now and that's how you want them.

"At halfway she was starting to get a bit keen as the pace was slacking, but as soon as she got the gap she quickened and finished strongly."

Reaction from winning connections

Winning rider James Doyle told ITV Racing: "Andrew [Balding]'s horses are flying, he can do no wrong!

"She was presented magnificently.

"The only slight worry was the trip but we thought we'd be ok from the low draw, wouldn't have to use up too much early.

"Once we found a clear path she found the line well enough.

"She might be even slightly better on slower ground."

Reaction from winning connections

Winning rider James Doyle told ITV Racing: "She was well supported today, my best ride of the week, and Karl [Burke, trainer] was very bullish.

"She didn't learn enough on debut and just landed at the front at Ascot, I should have been more patient. I rode her too forcefully that day.

"I was more patient today and it worked out perfectly."

Reaction from winning connections

Winning rider Tom Marquand told ITV Racing: "The step up in trip came at the right time. He impressed me at Pontefract, everyone crumpled by the three [furlong mark], and it all happened a bit quick over 10 furlongs at Chester.

"He changed leads and wobbled round, a little bit of greenness, but it didn't feel like the difference [between winning and losing]."
