Unbeaten First Victory goes for her third Newmarket success in the G3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes over seven furlongs on Tuesday, April 12.

Both of the Saeed bin Suroor-trained filly's two-year-old appearances were over the same Rowley Mile Course and seven furlongs, including when making virtually all of the running to score by a length in the G3 Vision Oh So Sharp Stakes on October 9.

The daughter of Teofilo gained a debut half-length victory in a fillies' maiden on September 26 last year.

James Doyle takes the ride for the second time on First Victory, having been up on board for her first success.First Victory, drawn nine, faces 13 other three-year-old fillies including G1 Connolly's Red Mills Cheveley Park Stakes runner-up Illuminate plus Nathra and Coolmore, who were second and fourth in the G1 Dubai Fillies' Mile.

Saeed bin Suroor commented: "First Victory has done well over the winter and I have been pleased with her in the mornings - her latest work went very well.

"This looks a tough race but she is ready to go and I am hoping for another good run."
