Hannon holds major Lockinge claims

The Juddmonte Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on May 17 is the first real one-mile championship race of the Flat season and tends to throw up the odd top-class performer.

Horses of the calibre of Medicean, Hawk Wing and Russian Rhythm have taken this prize in recent times, with the latter starting the trend of fillies to have done well in the race.
