AS with the colts, there was nothing really on show in last week’s Oaks trials to compete with the incumbent favourite for Epsom, Lah Ti Dar. That said, all of Magic Wand (Cheshire Oaks), Perfect Clarity (Lingfield Oaks Trial) and Bye Bye Baby (Blue Wind Stakes) turned in useful efforts on the clock.

Magic Wand’s race looks weakest, worth a 100 timefigure on the winner, though both she and runner-up Forever Together finished quickly enough to suggest that a few more lengths should be forthcoming.
