Richard Fahey admits he “couldn't possibly be happier” with Ribchester's form going into Wednesday's Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
The four-year-old was a spirited third in the race 12 months ago and has since gone on to prove his class over a mile with wins in both the Lockinge Stakes and the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot.
Connections are now eyeing a hat-trick next week in the Sussex Stakes, with Ribchester set to go up against Godolphin pair Dream Castle and Barney Roy, while Aidan O'Brien's Churchill is one of six possible runners from Ballydoyle.
Fahey is clearly confident about his charge?s chances on Wednesday, admitting his preparation for the race has been perfect.
“Everything has gone according to plan and I couldn't possibly be happier with him,” Fahey told Sporting Life on Thursday.
“Every piece of work has gone the way I would have wanted and although the weather forecast is looking a bit unsettled, it doesn't really worry me what the weather does now.”
