High-class 8 in line for Falmouth A high-class field of eight will go to post for Wednesday's Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes, the highlight of the opening day of Newmarket's July meeting. Group One winners dominate the field with fortunate dual Guineas heroine Special Duty aiming for a Group One hat-trick after being awarded her last two victories in the stewards' room. Aidan O'Brien's Lillie Langtry is looking to follow up her impressive win in the Coronation Stakes while Lahaleeb will be having her first start for Gerard Butler since being bought by current connections for one million guineas. Adding further strength in depth is Sir Michael Stoute's Strawberrydaiquiri, a gutsy winner of the Windsor Forest at Royal Ascot. Just touched off in the same race was James Fanshawe's Spacious and the pair will clash again with Kieren Fallon taking over in the saddle as Johnny Murtagh is on board Lillie Langtry. Mick Channon's luckless Music Show has run well in all the top races so far this season but only has a victory in the Nell Gwyn to show for her efforts while Mark Johnston's Rainfall is the most unexposed horse in the field, winning the Jersey Stakes against the colts on only her third start. The field is completed by Jim Bolger's Gile Ne Greine, third in the Guineas at Newmarket and second in the Coronation Stakes last time out.
