Forecasts

Westover (11/8), Tuesday (11/8), Hannibal Barca (12/1), French Claim (16/1), Lionel (16/1), Piz Badile (18/1), Boundless Ocean (50/1), Glory Daze (66/1)

Verdict

While it would be pushing it to suggest WESTOVER was unlucky not to win at Epsom he would have been a clear second but for meeting trouble over 2f out and can prevent Oaks-heroine Tuesday becoming the first filly to win this since Balanchine in 1994. Lionel looks best of the remainder.

  1. WESTOVER
  2. TUESDAY (IRE)
  3. LIONEL
