Frankel 'brilliant' in racecourse gallop

Frankel impressed the Newmarket work watchers this morning.

Henry Cecil's colt, brilliant winner of the Qipco 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes, worked on the Racecourse side with two stable companions.

Newmarket correspondent Tony Elves told At The Races: "Frankel had the companionship of two lead horses, Bullet Train and Tranquil Tiger. He sat out the back and was beautifully settled and when Shane Featherstonhaugh asked him to go he just glided past and finished about four lengths in front.

"It was a brilliant bit of work, didn't take anything out of him, and was just what you want going into the Sussex Stakes."

Frankel is 11-10 with Paddy Powers for the Glorious Goodwood showpiece in which he faces a mouthwatering clash with Canford Cliffs.
