HUGO Palmer feels Galileo Gold is getting stronger every week as he continues to build up towards the Qatar Sussex Stakes. The son of Paco Boy will bid for a third Group 1 success of the campaign in the one-mile prize, for which he is the general 7-4 favourite, on July 27.

Despite having met with defeat in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, having previously landed the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, the three-year-old bounced back with victory in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
