Toormore team relishing Goodwood Group 2 test

The Toormore team are confident their colt will put up a bold show in tomorrow's Doom Bar Celebration Mile at Goodwood.

Since winning the Bet365 Mile in April Toormore has found the step up to Group 1 level a much tougher assignment, but connections are encouraged by his fourth in the Sussex Stakes behind Guineas winners The Gurkha and Galileo Gold, and Ribchester, who followed up with victory in the Group 1 Jacques le Marois.

Tom Ward, assistant trainer to Richard Hannon, said; “Toormore has been on the edge in Group 1s for a long time and ran a great race behind some top three-year-olds in the Sussex. He is in good form now and he has always been well suited to Goodwood, so we're going with a live chance.”
