O'Brien confident January will get her day
Aidan O'Brien could look to France for a Group 1-winning opportunity for January after the filly narrowly missed out in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket. In receipt of 9lb from the winner Cinderella's Dream, the three-year-old January was beaten just half a length, adding another top-level placing to her record after taking third in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. 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." For his part, Charlie Appleby was full of praise for Cinderella's Dream in the aftermath of her tenacious win. "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. "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. "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 1 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."

Cinderella's Dream comes through for Falmouth Stakes victory
Cinderella's Dream returned to winning ways to secure Group One honours in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket. 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 looked the have the measure of Crimson Advocate only for well-backed favourite January to deliver her challenge, with Buick's mount battling all the way to the line to prevail by half a length as a 5-2 chance, with a length and three-quarters back to Crimson Advocate in third. A double for Charlie Appleby and @WilliamBuickX as the consistent Cinderella's Dream quickened nicely to take the Group One @Tattersalls1766 Falmouth Stakes 🏇 — Newmarket Racecourse (@NewmarketRace) July 11, 2025 "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. "I'll be honest, I don't know if she was firing on all cylinders at Ascot.

"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." The other Group race on the card saw Venetian Sun hold off the late charge of Royal Fixation to win the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes as she extended her unbeaten record. Sent off the 2-5 favourite after a convincing Albany Stakes success at Royal Ascot, Venetian Sun travelled supremely well throughout the six-furlong Group Two and when Clifford Lee asked her to quicken, it looked a matter of how far. Royal Fixation and William Buick had other ideas though, launching their challenge away from the market leader in the final furlong, with Venetian Sun's margin only a neck in the end, although there was still a slightly cosy feel to it. Venetian Sun maintains her unbeaten start by landing the Group Two Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, winning impressively for the duo of @CliffordleexLee and @karl_burke 🔥 — Newmarket Racecourse (@NewmarketRace) July 11, 2025 Winning trainer Karl Burke said: "This race wasn't part of the plan originally, we just made a decision last week to enter and have a look at the race and if we were happy with the filly and happy with the race then we might take our chance. "There's been no issues with the filly, but we haven't trained her for this race – we've been fairly easy on her since Ascot, as you would expect, with the thought that we'd go for the Lowther at York or maybe the Prix Morny. "Now she's won a Group Two that brings the Morny into it more than the Lowther. We won't say we're definitely going to the Morny, but if the ground is a bit easier and it's a race we think we can be very competitive in we could go there and still have time to get her ready for the Moyglare. "If we're not happy with her for the Morny, we'll go straight to the Moyglare." Burke completed the Albany/Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes double with Dandalla five years ago, while Laurens and Fallen Angel were both Classic-winning fillies for the Spigot Lodge handler, who has made no secret of the regard in which he holds his latest potential star. "I would say she's another league above Dandalla, who was a very good racehorse but this filly is a little bit special," he added. "She'd be quicker than Laurens and Fallen Angel. They were high-class, Group One-winning fillies and this filly hasn't done that yet, but she'd be a lot quicker and she's a very straightforward filly with a fantastic mind."

Cinderella's Dream takes top spot in Falmouth Stakes
Cinderella's Dream emerged best of a three-way battle for Group One honours in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket. 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.

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.'

Newsboy's racing tips for Day Two of Newmarket's July meeting plus four UK cards
Newsboy expects the July course to suit Cinderella's Dream in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes (3.35) at Newmarket, and he expects a big run from Dancing Paris in the big handicap of the day at 3.00 CINDERELLA'S DREAM is fancied to avenge her Royal Ascot defeat at the hands of Crimson Advocate to lift the Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes (3.35) at Newmarket today. A length and three-quarters separated the pair in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes 23 days ago, but my selection had a 3lb penalty to shoulder thanks to a win in the Belmont Oaks in New York last summer. The Charlie Appleby-saddled daughter of Shamardal has done most of her recent running over further, so the uphill climb to the line at the end of this straight mile will serve William Buick's mount well. The bet365 Trophy (3.00) presents punters with a puzzle but a good run looks in store from DANCING IN PARIS after a near-miss in the Northumberland Plate last time out. The opening bet365 Handicap (1.50) rates a good opportunity for URBAN GLIMPSE to make it third time lucky for the year after second placings at Sandown Park and York. She was impressive in landing Ascot's Albany Stakes on her second career outing and a nudge up from Group 3 to Group 2 level shouldn't stop Carlisle debut scorer VENETIAN SUN from making it 3-3 in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes. At York, SAYIDAH DARIYAN is poised to show to the fore in the Group 3 William Hill Summer Stakes (2.45), while top weight STREETS OF GOLD looks good in the William Hill Extra Place Races Daily Handicap (2.10).
