Bow Echo looks the part with Royal Lodge victory

Bow Echo added to his burgeoning reputation with victory in the Tattersalls Online Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket.

The George Boughey-trained son of Night Of Thunder arrived at Headquarters unbeaten in two previous starts and came there travelling sweetly for Billy Loughnane approaching two furlongs out.

Humidity had taken the Group Two field along for much of the mile journey and stuck to his guns really well for second after being passed by the 85-40 favourite, with Action coming from the rear to take third for Aidan O’Brien, looking a little unlucky not to be closer after meeting some trouble when making his challenge.

In the end, the Sheikh Mohammed Obaid-owned Bow Echo was strong at the line, with a length the margin of victory.
