Richard Hannon has confirmed impressive Newbury winner Snow Lantern will not run in the Qipco 1,000 Guineas next week.
The three-year-old filly shed her maiden tag in style at Newbury on Sunday and was promptly cut by bookmakers into as short as 7-1 for the fillies Classic at Newmarket on May 2.
However, Hannon released a statement that the daughter of Frankel would not try to emulate her dam Sky Lantern, winner of the 1,000 Guineas in 2013, and would instead be aimed at one of two targets at York next month.
Hannon said: Following discussions with connections, Snow Lantern will not be taking up her engagement in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket and will instead be aimed for either the Group 3 Musidora Stakes or the Listed Michael Seeley Stakes at York s May meeting.
