Verdict
Unforgetable Filly drops back in trip having won the German 1000 Guineas over a mile at Dusseldorf in June. But TALAAYEB looks to have the stronger form having beaten older horses including subsequent Group 2 winner Suedois to land the Group 3 Sky Bet City Of York over today’s trip on the Knavesmire last month. Owen Burrows’ filly is preferred to Listed winner Pirouette, who was beaten by On Her Toes at Ascot earlier, while Goodwood runner-up Eternally finished ahead of Tomyris in the Group 3 Oak Tree last time. Irish filly Drumfad Bay was second in a Listed event at Tipperary recently when reversing earlier running with compatriot and Ballydoyle representative Music Box.
