Karl Burke would love to head to Royal Ascot with his Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Fallen Angel, but a decision on her next outing is still to be discussed with connections.
The daughter of Too Darn Hot was a beaten favourite in the Newmarket equivalent, but made no mistake at the Curragh as she romped to a clear-cut Classic success in the hands of Danny Tudhope.
It proved a special afternoon for the Burke team, with Darnation also scooping the German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf, and the Spigot Lodge handler has outlined possible options for both of his fillies.
Burke said: “We haven’t had a sit down and chat with either owner yet, but I can’t see Darnation going to Royal Ascot, I think the ground will be too quick for her and she is very much dictated by that.
“She’s in the German Oaks back at Dusseldorf which is a valuable race and a possibility.
“Fallen Angel, obviously the Coronation Stakes is pretty high on the list but she is still in the French Oaks and again ground will dictate.
“I would love to go to Ascot with her if there is good ground. I think that would be a great race for her up the hill on the round mile.”
