Fallen For You: Set to rest on her laurels at present

Fallen For You: Set to rest on her laurels at present

Coronation Stakes winner Fallen For You is enjoying a midsummer break and is most likely to next appear in the autumn Group Ones.

Philippa Cooper's home-bred led home a one-two for the John Gosden stable at Royal Ascot, when she pulled over three lengths clear of Starscope.

Previously a winner of a minor event at Kempton, Fallen for You had been beaten on her other start, against older fillies, in a Group race at Lingfield.

"I haven't really discussed where she's going to run next with John, but I'm not going to over-race her," said Cooper, who runs Normandie Stud in West Sussex.

"I was very, very pleased with how she won at Ascot and, apart from the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket, there is nothing to run in at the moment as she has to go for Group Ones.

"There are more races later in the season and as she has handled soft ground, she can always go to France.

"I'm always happiest when the horses are having a break, and you've just got to look after them."
