The Richard Hannon-trained Sky Lantern wins the G1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot 2013
Richard Hannon insists Snow Lantern is capable of “settling a score” by going one better than her mother Sky Lantern eight years ago in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at the Moët & Chandon July Festival on Friday (July 9th) at Newmarket.
The Frankel filly will bid to secure victory in the race that eluded her illustrious mother, who finished second in the 2013 renewal, when attempting to open her own account at the top level in the mile Group One feature.
Arriving on the back of victories in the QIPCO 1000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, Sky Lantern had to settle for second best in her quest for a Group One hat-trick behind Elusive Kate, who held on to first place following a stewards inquiry.

Tactical, a three-year-old colt who is owned and was bred by The Queen, put on a strong display to win at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile this afternoon (14 April).
In what has been a sad week, following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, Tactical fended off his rivals in the seven-furlong Listed bet365 European Free Handicap under former champion jockey Oisin Murphy for trainer Andrew Balding.
The son of Toronado, who went off at 5/1, looked like he was going to be boxed in by his rivals, until a gap appeared on the rail. Oisin took advantage of it and went on to win by a neck over the 2/1 favourite Naval Crown, who was ridden in the Godolphin silks by William Buick for trainer Charlie Appleby.
