AMAZING Maria gave her future paddocks value a tremendous boost when taking the Group 1 Qipco Falmouth Stakes (British Champions Series) over a mile at Newmarket, the third pattern success of her career but her first one at the highest level.

She won the Group 3 Prestige Stakes over seven furlongs at Goodwood on her final start as a juvenile, looking like a potential classic filly, but was unplaced on each of her three outings last year.
