A superb field of 10 goes to post in the £1-million Group One Qatar Sussex Stakes, the highlight of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, on Wednesday.

The 2016 Qatar Goodwood Festival is now less than a week away and the countdown to the five-day spectacular at the world's most beautiful racecourse steps up a gear today with the unveiling of the acceptors and entries for the opening day on Tuesday, July 26.

Group One winners Air Force Blue, Dick Whittington, Lumiere, Charming Thought and Toormore feature among 41 entries (up from 39 in 2015) for the £300,000 Group Two Qatar Lennox Stakes on day one of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, Tuesday, July 26.

Racing and Sports' Adam Blencowe previews the opening day of Royal Ascot 2016 with market assessments for the three Group 1 races on the card.

Richard Hannon believes Toormore will have a "huge chance" of claiming Group One gold in the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury.
