Gosden adamant Lah Ti Dar is even better than Newmarket win

Lah Ti Dar: won the Pretty Polly Stakes and is the current Epsom Oaks favouriteCredit: Edward Whitaker

John Gosden, trainer of Lah Ti Dar and Highgarden

The Musidora was too close to Epsom for Lah Ti Dar and we thought if we went for the Pretty Polly there would be time for her to go to Epsom for Breakfast With The Stars to get a feel of the hill there. She wasn't up to racing last year but she's come on a whole lot. We didn't see the best of her at Newmarket but it was quick ground and it turned into a bit of a dash. Frankie thinks she would handle good to firm at Epsom, but if it's good to soft or soft that would really be in her court. We're going to run Highgarden in the Musidora. I thought that was a very good race at Sandown when she was third. The first three there all look lovely fillies.
