A race to enthuse over and simply absorb. The brilliant and equally tough triple Group 1 winner Laurens turns her hand to a longer trip for the first time on ground which is probably quicker than ideal, but with a pedigree that suggests the extra yardage is within range, she's fully respected against Irish Oaks foes Magic Wand and SEA OF CLASS. The former disappointed at The Curragh; albeit with a potential excuse (question marks over the O'Brien string), but that's not to say that the rapidly improving William Haggas-trained filly isn't a worthy Group 1 winner. Her progress from race to race has impressed, so she's likely to take some stopping in this prestigious race.
