Freddy Head confident Solow can seal Sussex success

Freddy Head expects the undulations of Goodwood to bring out the best in Solow when he bids to continue his fantastic campaign in today’s Qatar Sussex Stakes.

The five-year-old was a stunning winner of the Dubai Turf at Meydan at the end of March and has continued in the same vein since returning to Europe, landing the Prix d’Ispahan at Longchamp before claiming Royal Ascot glory in the Queen Anne.

The flying grey looked set for a mouth-watering clash with leading three-year-old Gleneagles in another highly-anticipated ‘Duel on the Downs’, but with Aidan O’Brien’s charge defecting on account of the rain-softened ground, Solow is odds-on to add another Group One to his CV.
