John Gosden will run two in a bid for a third Falmouth Stakes success on Friday after Duke of Cambridge scorer Nazeef and Queen Anne runner-up Terebellum were declared on Wednesday morning.

Nazeef, winner of five of her six starts, will be partnered by owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's retained rider Jim Crowley in the Group 1 contest, while Godolphin's Terebellum has the assistance of Frankie Dettori as seven head to post.

Terebellum will be bidding to break her Group 1 duck after her gallant second to Circus Maximus at Royal Ascot.

Agincourt, an agonising neck second behind Nazeef at Ascot, also lines up and trainer David O'Meara is confident of a bold show.

O'Meara, who trained the fellow Sir Robert Ogden-owned Amazing Maria to win in 2015, said: “She’s a lovely, late-maturing mare and we were not surprised by how well she ran at Ascot. If she runs as she did there at Newmarket it will get her involved in the Falmouth Stakes. We’d be hopeful she’d run well.”

On any similarities between the pair, he added: "They’d both be big, scopey, uncomplicated fillies with a stride on them. Agincourt is very honest and as good as gold at home. Seven furlongs or a mile, that’s as far as she’d want."

The globetrotting Magic Wand, fourth behind Ghaiyyath in the Coral-Eclipse on Sunday, is the sole Ballydoyle runner after Peaceful and So Wonderful were not declared.

One Master, dual winner of the Prix de la Foret and runner-up behind Veracious in this contest last year, is another high-class mare to contest the race shown on ITV4 and Racing TV at 4.10 on Friday.

Two-time Group 1 heroine Billesdon Brook and Under The Stars complete the line-up.
