Sugar Island¹⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 104

9/1

Ended her 2-y-o campaign with a win in a 1m Curragh Group 3 on heavy in October. Shouldered with a 5 lb penalty for that. Ryan Moore is on the yard's other runner but her pedigree points to her doing even better over middle distances this year.

A La Prochaine¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: R M Beckett

13/2

550,000 gns daughter of Lope de Vega who made a promising winning start to her career over 1m at Newbury (heavy) last autumn. Sure to improve for a yard which has tasted recent success in this.

Amelia Earhart^b1,h1²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 98

11/4

Well suited by the step up to 1m when easy winner of Leopardstown maiden (good to soft) on her final 2-y-o outing. Bred to stay this sort of trip. Equipped with first-time blinkers and hood combination on her return. Ryan Moore seemingly prefers her to Sugar Island.

I'm The One¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: J & T Gosden

8/11

Sea The Stars filly who looked a very exciting prospect when quickening 6 lengths clear on her 1¼m Newbury debut (good) last month. Made ante-post favourite for the Oaks on the back of that and can take the step up in class in her stride.

Winged One¹⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

25/1

Australia filly who left debut well behind to win a 1m Newcastle novice last October. Her pedigree points to her doing even better over longer trips this season.

I'm The One (4/5), Amelia Earhart (9/4), Sugar Island (7/1), A La Prochaine (10/1), Winged One (25/1)

I'M THE ONE rocketed to the head of the ante-post betting for the Oaks on the back of her highly impressive debut success and can set herself up for Epsom by making it 2-2. Four promising fillies take her on, with Amelia Earhart, the mount of Ryan Moore from the Aidan O'Brien pair, possibly the one to provide the chief threat.
