Bow Echo has been super consistent since making a debut at Newbury in the middle of August. That maiden stakes victory saw the horse win by more than four lengths, with that being followed by an odds-on success in a listed race. Better was to come last September when the runner was able to score in the Royal Lodge Stakes.
This Group 2 triumph was achieved by a single length, with the 2,000 Guineas victory then coming at Newmarket where the runner was able to win by nearly three lengths. The fact that the horse won going away means that we could see a really strong effort in this Royal Ascot showdown, with Gstaad regarded as the horse most likely to lower his colours.
Aidan O'Brien could have an excellent Day One at the 2026 Royal Ascot meeting, with Gstaad having followed up the 2,000 Guineas runner-up spot with a victory at the Curragh in late May. That was in the Irish 2,000 Guineas where the 4/11 favourite where a three-length success was landed and we should also note that a Juvenile Turf success was enjoyed in the Breeders' Cup.
Talk Of New York has clocked up successive wins for Charlie Appleby, with the three-year-old having won at Newmarket in mid-April over seven furlongs. Then there was an impressive showing as the even money favourite in the Heron Stakes at Sandown Park. Winning by five and a half lengths means we need to respect the horse for this contest.
