The standout name of the race this Saturday is undoubtedly Sky Lantern. She won the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket as well as Royal Ascot’s Coronation Stakes, the latter in very impressive fashion, before being controversially pipped at the end of the Falmouth Stakes early last month by Elusive Kate. Although she comes into the race with some impressive form, it must be kept in mind that this will be the first time that the filly is tested over this distance. Trainer Richard Hannon will nonetheless be confident of his horse’s chances, and the favourable odds given to the horse reflect this optimism from the betting public as well.

In the chasing pack are a number of quality horses that may very well push Sky Lantern all the way. Among these are Ralph Beckett’s Secret Gesture, who has something to prove after disappointingly losing it at the end at the Irish Oaks. Hot Snap is also highly regarded and will be taking part in her first race since the QIPCO 1000 Guineas, where she disappointed when starting off as favourite.

Integral and Just The Judge have also attracted a bit attention during the week, and are next in line to Sky Lantern in the bookie’s charts. They have the pedigree to challenge, but the one to beat, on form, in any event, remains Sky Lantern.
