Integral dazzles in Falmouth.

Royal Ascot heroine Integral clinched a first Group One victory with an impressive display in the Qipco Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket under Ryan Moore.

The Cheveley Park-owned and -bred filly claimed the Duke of Cambridge Stakes in Berkshire last month and despite encountering more testing conditions on the July Course, she was the 15-8 favourite follow up. Last year's 1000 Guineas heroine Sky Lantern, behind Integral at the Royal meeting but expected to improve, was sent into the lead early on by Richard Hughes and set only a moderate gallop for the first half of the mile contest.

Clive Brittain's Rizeena, another Ascot winner having claimed the Coronation Stakes, and Integral were never too far off the pace and moved up to dispute the lead as Sky Lantern disappointingly weakened out of shot. It was soon evident Integral had far more to give than her younger opponent, however, and after switching to the stands' rail in the final furlong, she had plenty in the tank to hold her at bay by two lengths.
