Richard Hannon feels the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville may come too soon for his crack miler Toronado after his thrilling victory in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.

The son of High Chaparral pulled one back in his head-to-head battle with Jim Bolger's Dawn Approach after being beaten in both the 2000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Hannon and jockey Richard Hughes had not lost faith, however, and the three-year-old confirmed he was no morning glory by swooping late to win his first Group One.

In the immediate aftermath connections mentioned Deauville as his likely next port of call, but that may now be unlikely as Hannon thinks it may be too big an ask to turn out again on Sunday week.

"We will stick to a mile this year, and we will talk to the owner (Sheikh Joaan Al Thani) and make a plan as to where to go next," said Hannon on www.richardhannonracing.co.uk.

"Deauville (Prix Jacques le Marois) will probably come a bit quick, but we will leave it a week before making a decision, and the QEII at Ascot in September would be the obvious race. Who knows, Dawn Approach might turn up there too."
