Verdict

Ryan Moore and Aidan O'Brien won this contest last year with Even Song and they have a solid chance again with Oaks third Alluringly. Mori is another with solid claims after winning back-to-back races since a promising debut effort but it's GRACIOUS DIANA who makes most appeal. Soft ground wouldn't have suited her last time in a Listed contest at Newbury and she should resume progress here.
  1. Gracious Diana
  2. Mori
  3. Alluringly
