SEA Of Class threw her hat into the Oaks ring when she won the Listed Haras De Bouquetot Fillies’ Trial Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.

The pace was not overly strong and the winning time was not good, it was almost four seconds slower than the time that Communique clocked in winning the London Gold Cup over the same course and distance two hours earlier, but it was still difficult not to be impressed with the performance that Sea Of Class put up.
