Snow Lantern 10/1
Looked a very talented filly when winning at Newbury, showing a very nice turn of foot
Hopefully she wins tomorrow then all roads surely lead here, maybe stepping up to 10f then later in the season
I feel like if the oaks was the aim they’d be trying her over 10f in a trial not sticking with a mile
From this entry, and what I have read from connections, I think your assessment regarding trip is accurate FF. Still surprised they skipped the Guineas for this very reason.
Derab of Daddy & Thaddy, who she turned over LTO, runs tomorrow too in a Novice and is a short enough jolly. All conjecture for the moment, but 10/1 Snow Lantern could well be a distant memory if they both win cosily, as I suspect they might well.
BUY THE SUN
JOAN OF ARC 12/1 With bet365 is my bet very good last time only get better from now on
Just nowhere near good enough. I’ve been mugged by a good pedigree again.

Snow Lantern pulled away her chances there
I wouldn’t give up on her just yet, seemingly needs a strong pace to help settle at the mile at this stage although she travelled so well last time out. One thing for sure is she’d never settle or last home in an Oaks at this stage of her career.
Hannon may swerve this but she certainly is better than today’s effortBlackbeard to conquer the World
I think Levey gave her an awful ride today you could see her wanting to run and he was holding onto her and then somehow she managed to get intimidated throughout the race by Divine Light, firstly by pushing her against the rail and then by coming across left to eyeball her and almost definitely pushed her out of her rhythm so she just ran on one paced.
I agree with Nathan not to give up on her yet but feel Hannon has missed his opportunity and she should have run in the 1000 Guineas. Have to put that behind us now but she was definitely made a target by the boys in blue today.
Her mum Sky Lantern could always come with a sweeping run from off the pace but her sire wanted nothing better than to lead the pack and I think that’s what she needs.The fact that Derab who was behind her last time out ran away with his race at Newmarket today (won by 6½ lengths) proves that she should have won easily today if she had been given her head.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I wouldnt blame the jockey
He couldn’t just let her run as she then wouldn’t learn to settle
Hopefully what he did will benefit her going forward
If she doesn’t learn to settle she won’t be winning anything
Not totally blaming the jockey FF he was probably ridng to instructions and Frankel progeny are often headstrong. It was the whole run of the race and she was definitely getting into her stride as Divine Light came left and spoilt her run.
I hope a line can be drawn under that race and she will go on to success at Royal Ascot and beyond, so much was expected of her yesterday.
Jac Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Not a huge amount between the top UK and Irish fillies here and it’s just a question of which one is best set up for this race. I’m opposing them with the Peter Schiergen trained Novemba who stepped up significantly on previous form with a resounding win in the German 1,000 Guineas at Dusseldorf, leading and galloping clear impressively in the final two furlongs. German form is invariably under-rated when they bring their horses to the UK but the trainer will know what he has got and there’s likely to be some decent value about this one. Early market soon after declarations gives a best price of 14/1 but I suspect bigger will be available.
Another 3yo headscratcher!
Anyone remember why Shale didn’t run in the Ire 1000G?
20-1 would look potentially nice.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Snow lantern needs to be dropped in trip
She must have some ability to pull that hard for so long and finish 2nd
She should be dropped to 6/7f
