Cinderella's Dream takes top spot in Falmouth Stakes
Trained by Charlie Appleby and ridden by William Buick, Cinderella's Dream needed to reverse Royal Ascot form with her Duke of Cambridge Stakes conqueror Crimson Advocate, while Aidan O'Brien's three-year-old January provided a fresh test for the Godolphin runner. Cinderella's Dream (5-2) looked the have the measure of Crimson Advocate only for January (6-4 favourite) to deliver her challenge, with Buick's mount battling all the way to the line to prevail by half a length, with a length and three-quarters back to Crimson Advocate in third. 'I did think when she hit the rising ground it would take a tough one to get past her,' said Appleby, who was winning the Falmouth for the first time. 🔵 Cinderella's Dream – back in business with @Tattersalls1766 Falmouth Stakes glory — Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 11, 2025 'I'll be honest, I don't know if she was firing on all cylinders at Ascot. We always look for excuses when we're beaten so we used the bend and the 3lb penalty, but she's been round Del Mar and you ain't going to get many tighter turns than that, so I don't think we can say going round Ascot was going to be too much of a challenge for her. 'Will was just happy over a mile on a straight track as maybe a mile round a bend is sharp enough. 'She won her maiden at Lingfield and then we went up to Thirsk to win her novice. She's knee high to a grasshopper but she's as tough as teak and I'm delighted for her as she's been so consistent and for her to win a Group One here in Europe is richly deserved. 'We're very much going to work back from the Breeders' Cup Filly And Mare Turf. It annoyed me when that got away for us last year, so we'll go back for a crack at that, how we get there we'll work that out.' Buick said: 'She's all class. She's been unlucky a couple of times, but today she's put it all together. 'What a game filly she is, it was a ding-dong between two good fillies, it was a good race and she had give the second filly 9lb, it's never easy. 'I'm just so pleased for her, she's been a wonderful filly all through and I'm just delighted she's got a domestic Group One next to her name.'

‘She's getting there' – O'Brien confident January will get her day
Despite seeing his 6-4 favourite eclipsed, O'Brien is confident the Kingman filly is on the right track, with the Prix Rothschild at Deauville on August 3 pencilled in as a possible target. O'Brien said: 'She ran a lovely race, she is improving and we think there's more improvement to come from her. 'She's a lot of ability this filly and it's coming. She's definitely a miler – she's quick. We're getting there – she's slowly getting closer. 'She ran a great race and we think we're on the right road. 'There's the fillies' race in Deauville in a few weeks' time, so we might look at that for her.' Connections of Crimson Advocate also hope their filly will eventually strike Group One gold, having seen a length-and-three-quarters defeat of Cinderella's Dream at Royal Ascot reversed off level weights here. The John and Thady Gosden-trained runner was beaten two and a quarter lengths on the July course, with Richard Brown, the racing adviser for owners Wathnan Racing, feeling the contest had perhaps not unfolded in her favour. He said: 'There wasn't a huge amount of early pace and more pace would have meant she could have been snaffled into it a little bit more, but she's run a very good race. 'We haven't made any plans, we'll go away and have a think about it. 'She's run a great race and I hope she can have her day in one of these (Group Ones).' Crimson Advocate is entered in both the seven-furlong Lennox Stakes and the mile-and-a-quarter Nassau Stakes at Goodwood later this month and Brown added: 'We'll take her home and see how she comes out of it and then plot for the second half of the season.'
