Swing In Line For Falmouth Tilt

Arch Swing is likely to take on her elders for the first time in the UAE Hydra Properties Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket on July 11.

John Oxx´s filly, runner-up to Finsceal Beo in the 1000 Guineas, put a disappointing run in the Irish equivalent firmly behind her when fourth in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot last week.

Oxx was thrilled with that performance and feels Arch Swing would have been closer to runaway winner Indian Ink if her run had not been checked at a crucial stage.

The Currabeg handler said: 'She bounced out of the race fine and she´s in good form, no problems.

'We hope to run her in the Falmouth Stakes next on the 11th of July at Newmarket.

'She ran well at Ascot and should have been second with a clear run. She just didn´t get the run when she needed it and when she eventually got out she finished full of running.

'She didn´t have a hard race, which has probably contributed to her bouncing out of it well, and we were delighted to see her bounce back to the sort of form we expect from her.

'She has plenty of speed so I think a mile is the right distance for her at the moment.'
