2026 Fillies' Mile Tips - Will Muscial Times remain unbeaten at Newmarket?
The 2026 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket features unbeaten favourite Musical Times, with strong form following an impressive Doncaster win. Expert analysis expects her to win, but highlights Lex Victoria as the each-way value bet at 16/1, thanks to her two novice victories and potential for further improvement. Key rivals include Rogue Passion, Forbidden Fire, and others, but Lex Victoria’s draw and progression make her an intriguing outsider for Friday’s Group One feature. The main recommendation is to consider Lex Victoria for each-way bets.

The opening day of Newmarket's Future Champions Festival is headlined by the Fillies' Mile. This top-quality Group One has been won by many outstanding fillies since it was created in 1973, including the great Oh So Sharp, who went on to win the Triple Crown the following season.

2026 Fillies' Mile Runners
The overwhelming favourite for Friday's Group One feature is Musical Times. Charlie Appleby's filly is unbeaten in three career starts and was cut into odds-on favouritism for this race after destroying her rivals in the May Hill Stakes at Doncaster.
Ed Bethell will be represented by Rogue Passion, who was last seen beating future Jean-Luc Lagardere winner Amusingly in the Group Two Prix d'Aumale. Like the favourite, Forbidden Fire also comes into the Fillies' Mile with an unblemished record, having claimed a narrow victory in the Flying Scotsman Stakes.
Joseph O'Brien will send Moyglare third Dancing Destiny over to Newmarket on Friday. Aidan O'Brien has entered recent Dundalk maiden winner Haven and Group Three placer Exceptionally.
Simon and Ed Crisford have confirmed unbeaten Sioux Nation filly Lex Victoria in the field. The consistent Scommessa Sicura will run for Andrew Balding, but has seven lengths to find with Musical Times from their meeting at Doncaster.
2026 Fillies' Mile Tips
I'm fully expecting Musical Times to win. Charlie Appleby's filly was wildly impressive at Doncaster and his record at this time of the year, especially at Newmarket, is exceptional.
There is, however, some value to be found in the each-way market. LEX VICTORIA (16/1) has won both of her starts so far, and there's a good chance she'll improve again for this step up in grade.

Simon Crisford's filly was forced to make the running on debut at Newmarket. The field bunched up behind Lex Victoria with two furlongs to travel, but she and Thi Qar pulled clear in a matter of strides, and Crisford's filly came out on top in a head-bobbing finish.
Lex Victoria seemed much more comfortable when given a lead on her second outing at Kempton. James Doyle's mount, who was carrying a seven-pound penalty, tracked the leader comfortably before showing a nice turn of foot to open up a clear lead, eventually crossing the line almost five lengths clear of the staying-on Pink Larkspur.
Both starts came in novice company, so Lex Victoria has plenty to find on her rivals in terms of form. However, Thi Qar and Pink Larkspur have won maidens since and look to be Pattern-quality performers. Doyle will be happy with his draw in stall six, given that the Ballydoyle pacemaker Exceptionally is drawn next to him in seven. I'm excited to see what Lex Victoria will produce on her Group One debut this Friday.
