Unforgetable Filly (GB) (Sepoy {Aus}), heroine of the G2 German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf on June 18, is one of 26 fillies and mares to stand her ground for the G1 Falmouth S. at Newmarket on July 14.
“Unforgetable Filly seems to have come out of the Dusseldorf race in great form,” said Hugo Palmer. “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 four pounds 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 G1 Tattersalls Falmouth S. as she is an improving filly and I don't know where that improvement will stop.”
Palmer continued, “On her three previous pattern race runs at Newmarket, she has always been ridden prominently, but her two best ever performances have come when we have ridden her more patiently which I think is quite significant. 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.”
Other luminaries still signed on include Ballydoyle's dual Classic winner Winter (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who won the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot on June 23, as well as the next three home that day in Roly Poly (War Front), Hydrangea (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), and Dabyah (Ire) (Sepoy {Aus}). Fellow Royal Ascot victress and MG1SW Qemah (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), who emerged victorious in the G2 Duke of Cambridge S., will be joined by MG1SW Smart Call (SAf) (Ideal World) who is trained by Sir Michael Stoute and Argentinean Group 1 winner Greta G (Arg) (Exchange Rate) for John Gosden. The Graham Motion-trained three-time Grade I winner Miss Temple City (Temple City) is also engaged.
