Unforgetable Filly is on course to run in the Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket on July 14 – the fourth leg in the Fillies & Mares division of the QIPCO British Champions Series.

The Hugo Palmer-trained three-year-old won the German 1000 Guineas on her latest start and features among 26 entries revealed for the £200,000 contest. Seven of those have won at the highest level, including Winter and Qemah – both winners at Royal Ascot last week.

“Unforgetable Filly seems to have come out of the Dusseldorf race in great form,” Palmer said. “She didn’t lose any weight and was bucking and squealing again just a few days later.

“It’s hard to know how to rate that form but the international handicapper has put her up 4lb to a mark of 109 so clearly considers it to have been her career best effort.

“It’s now my intention to run her in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes as she is an improving filly and I don’t know where that improvement will stop. Her two best ever performances have come when we have ridden her more patiently which I think is quite significant.”

He added: “All Newmarket trainers love having winners on their home courses and there is nothing more special than the Newmarket in all its finery in the middle of July, so to have a big winner there would be fantastic.”
