Sky Lantern to light way for Hannon

RACING: Connections of Sky Lantern are to consider supplementing the Qipco 1000 Guineas winner for the Investec Oaks.

The grey filly ended a long wait for trainer Richard Hannon when giving him his first success in the Classic over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket.

The veteran trainer would now like to open his account in the Epsom showpiece and he could be persuaded to add her to the field on May 31. “She’s a good filly. I don’t know where we are going to run her next. There is talk about the Oaks. Richard, my son and assistant, is gagging to run her in the Oaks,” he said.
