Stan Moore expects plenty more from Lady Darshaan

Stan Moore believes Lady Darshaan can land a major prize this season, although he has ruled her out of the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket next Wednesday.

She finished sixth behind Bethrah in a bunched finish to the Irish 1,000 Guineas in May, before disappointing on her first start over 10 furlongs at Newbury last month.

The trainer is hopeful she will get back to winning ways on Saturday, when she drops back in trip for the Listed Coral Distaff over a mile at Sandown.

Moore said: "She's in good form and I hope she'll be in the winner's enclosure. We've decided to miss the Falmouth because it looks one of the hottest fillies' races for years.

"She's definitely a Group One-standard filly. I haven't lost faith in her and we are thinking instead of aiming her at the Group One Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September. The ground was a bit funny at Newbury. She could also have been a bit flat after the Irish Guineas, where she had a hard race. Before that, the Newmarket Guineas [where she was 10th] was a farce because of the draw, so she's been unlucky.

"Her jockey, Richard Hughes, also felt that she was better at a mile and we've decided to go down that route, so we've also ruled her out of the Irish Oaks."
