O'Brien bids for a fourth win in the Sun Chariot and all of his previous winners – Halfway To Heaven (2008), Alice Springs (2016) and Roly Poly (2017) – were three-year-olds. Mother Earth, who now has the Breeders' Cup on her agenda following stablemate Santa Barbara's fatal injury, renews rivalry with the second and third from the Guineas, Saffron Beach and Fev Rover, while she has half a length to find with Snow Lantern on the form of the Falmouth. She likes to be ridden to take her time a little bit and she got stopped in her run." "She seems to be in good form since her last run. "She relaxes, gets the mile very well and usually finishes off her races very well. "She's a great filly who's very consistent," said O'Brien. The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly gained another Group 1 victory in the Prix Rothschild in August but has been unlucky on a few occasions this season, including last time in the Matron. The admirably consistent Mother Earth has been unfortunate not to have more to show for her efforts since winning the 1,000 Guineas over course and distance in May. Mother Earth returns to scene of Guineas win "Sky Lantern won this race very well and it would be nice if this filly could do the same."

It meant a lot to everybody and the fact she's homebred by Rockcliffe Stud was very important for them. "After what her mother did in that race, the Falmouth was the highlight of my year so far. "This race has always been the main target for Snow Lantern since the Falmouth," he said. The trainer was assistant to his father Richard Hannon snr during the days of Sky Lantern but won the Sun Chariot in his own right two years ago with Billesdon Brook. "All her figures are fine and she's in great form now and we're very happy with her. "We took in the Moulin because she appeared to be in good form, but her scope wasn't right when she came back from France, so she's been on antibiotics," said Hannon.
