Godolphin filly looks the play in wide-open running of Epsom Classic
Wild Illusion and Clemmie head the ratings for the Investec Oaks, with the former looking the stronger option after a solid run in the 1,000 Guineas on Sunday, but whoever wins the Oaks will need to show improved form.
With the exception of Enable's standout performance last year, a winning average Racing Post Rating of 116 in recent years isn't an exacting level by Group 1 standards, but nothing in the Oaks field has yet hit that mark and ante-post punters will be looking to find the potential improvers.
Top of that list must be Lah Ti Dar, who understandably went to the head of the Oaks market after winning the Pretty Polly Stakes. An RPR of 108+ for that success puts her within 6lb of the leading fillies and she's surely capable of better.
