The 9/4 market leader justified her position at the head of the market by running out a decisive winner of today’s feature contest at Newmarket, the Group 3 Aspall Cyder 1728 Sweet Solera Stakes over seven furlongs.

The Clipper Logistics-owned filly made quite the impression when winning on debut at Haydock in May and was subsequently runner-up in the Listed European Bloodstock News EBF Star Stakes at Sandown last month.

Fallen Angel travelled well throughout under Daniel Tudhope and after taking the lead at the furlong pole, she continued to stretch clear up the rising ground and ran out a ready three-length winner.

George Boughey's Soprano finished back in second with the 40/1 chance Les Bleus picking up some valuable Black-Type in third.

Danny Tudhope said: "She stays that trip well and wants a mile now – she may even get 10 furlongs in time.

"She was very impressive today and the further she went, the better she was.

"She is a classy filly and handles all types of ground, as she has proven. She also has a great mind on her which is the best thing. She tries and is game – a very likeable filly.

"I don't know where she will go next but I am sure she will have all the right entries and her future looks very bright.

"The team at Clipper Logistics [winning owners] of Steve Parkin and Joe Foley are doing better every year and getting better horses. They deserve to get nice horses and winners. Hopefully, there is more to come.

"I thought the most impressive thing about her win today was powered clear up the hill. She is taking her racing well and is a credit to Karl and all the team. They are having a great year."

Paddy Power reacted to the victory of the Karl Burke-trained filly by introducing her at 25-1 for the 2024 QIPCO 1000 Guineas.

It was a first Group race success for her sire, Dalham Hall Stud's Too Darn Hot.
