Despite her short price, punters are still backing Snow Lantern as she bids to follow up her impressive maiden win at Newbury last month in the Listed York Oaks Farm Stables Fillies' Stakes (2.10) on Friday.

Available at 6-4 first thing this morning, the three-year-old, who has entries in the Cazoo Oaks, Coronation Stakes and Coral-Eclipse, is now a general 5-4 shot and shortening. The daughter of Sky Lantern will attempt to remain unbeaten this season for Richard Hannon.

Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield said: "Many people were hoping that Snow Lantern would go for the Guineas after her comfortable Newbury success.

"However, connections decided to go up the ladder gradually and she's been very well supported ahead of likely bigger and better things in either the Oaks or Coronation Stakes."
