Star duo set for Sussex Stakes showdown

Friday 26 July 2013, 11:01am

Dawn Approach and Toronado are on course for another mouth-watering clash in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood on Wednesday.

The star three-year-olds feature among 13 horses confirmed for the mile showpiece, won for the last two years by the mighty Frankel.

The two last met in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot where Jim Bolger's 2000 Guineas winner bounced back from a shocking display in the Derby to beat the Richard Hannon-trained Toronado by a short head after an epic battle.

Hannon has also left in Olympic Glory, while other three-year-olds who could take on their elders are Aidan O'Brien's Jersey scorer Gale Force Ten, 2000 Guineas runner-up Glory Awaits, Bolger's Leitir Mor and Godolphin's Tawhid.

Declaration Of War, winner of the Queen Anne Stakes and runner-up in the Eclipse, could also represent O'Brien along with Reply.

The list is completed by Aljamaaheer, Gregorian, Trade Storm and Sajjhaa.
