Kon Tiki will miss this Saturday’s Coral Distaff, with Jane Chapple-Hyam preferring to wait for Ascot’s Longines Valiant Stakes later this month.
Chapple-Hyam would like to give her filly longer to recover from her exertions in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, meaning she will not be seen in Listed action at Sandown this weekend or in Newmarket’s Group One Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes next Friday.
Chapple-Hyam said: “I’m not going to run Kon Tiki at Sandown, it is a little bit too soon after Royal Ascot so we’re just going to sit and wait.
“I think we’ll be looking at a Group Three for her next and something like the Valiant Stakes back at Ascot (July 26).”
The daughter of Night Of Thunder won her first three outings in great style, winning twice on the all-weather before transferring that form to turf when scooping Listed honours at York in the spring.
She was then given a chance in elite company after being supplemented for a red-hot Coronation Stakes at the Royal meeting, finishing a creditable seventh in a race won by Joseph Murphy’s Cercene.
