QIPCO 1000 Guineas runner-up Lucida will be hoping to make it third time lucky in the QIPCO British Champions Series after she was declared alongside 8 rivals for the QIPCO Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket on Friday.

Jim Bolger’s filly, who was also narrowly beaten by three quarters of a length in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, will come under strong pressure from a competitive line up of fillies and mares that includes last year’s winner Integral and French raider Avenir Certain.

Compatriots Bawina and Fintry are also set to make the journey to Newmarket, whilst Royal winner Amazing Maria and talented filly Euro Chaline will take to the turf at Newmarket’s July Course.

Full list of QIPCO Falmouth Stakes declarations:

Amazing Maria, Avenir Certain, Bawina, Euro Chaline, Fintry, Integral. Lady Dutch, Arabian Queen and Lucida.
