Unbeaten after five races, the latest of which was the 1,000 Guineas, Desert Flower is top rated and by some way. However, while the manner of her wins suggests she will stay beyond 1m, her pedigree has to prompt significant doubts about 1m4f. Maybe her class can still win the day but she faces several promising rivals who have stronger prospects for being suited by the trip. In marked contrast to Desert Flower's trainer, Aidan O'Brien has enjoyed prolific success in the Oaks and he has the next three in the betting, with Ryan Moore on board suggesting Minnie Hauk is the first string but with Whirl having done more in form terms after looking good in the Musidora and she may prove the best from Ballydoyle. For the best option overall, though, Joseph O'Brien's WEMIGHTAKEDLONGWAY (nap) has to be of major each-way interest at the very least. Her reappearance behind Derby candidate Delacroix was promising and there was a lot to like about her style of victory over 1m2f on soft at Navan. Elwateen was fourth in the Guineas and Revoir, like her, has had just two races.[Richard Austen]

 11/8  6/5 5/4 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Unbeaten in four races as 2yo, by an aggregate of almost 17l and culminating in Group 1 Fillies' Mile (good to soft; unraced on softer); evens when she reappeared for the 1,000 Guineas back at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and she made all, strongly challenged but pulling 1l clear; shapes as if sure to stay beyond 1m, even though she's by the miler Night Of Thunder and her smart dam looked best up to 1m1f; the proven class act in this field but with stamina for 1m4f the big question.

 9/2  4/1 9/2 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  By Frankel out of half-sister to Kingman and cost 1,850,000euros as a yearling; favourite for two Irish maidens over 1m last October, 2-5 and always front rank when winning at Leopardstown (soft); 13-8 favourite when reappearing in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.5f, good) one month ago and scored in similar style, not by far but clearly in charge from 2f out; that form is not a patch on Desert Flower's but this filly has reportedly "come on loads" since, she's the Aidan O'Brien number one on jockey bookings and an assured stayer who has more in the tank.

 15/2  8/1 15/2 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  By Wootton Bassett; progressed nicely last year, on final start making most and rallying splendidly to take a 1m Group 3 at the Curragh (1m, soft) with Giselle among those on her heels; never seriously involved on reappearance and started joint-third favourite of six for the Group 3 Musidora at York (10.3f) a month later but she led over 3f out and ran on strongly to win in style; dam 1m winner but dam's sister Hydrangea won Group 1s over 1m and 1m4f; shapes as if she will stay and has big each-way chance.

 8/1  17/2 8/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  By Frankel out of US 1m Grade 1 winner; won a maiden at the Curragh before close third to Whirl in Group 3 there (1m, soft) later in October; Lingfield Oaks Trial (11.6f, good to firm) was almost a non-event in terms of the opposition and she was pushed/nudged out to go 9l clear in the last 2f, having been held up last of three in a first-time hood (retained); while that was a satisfactory comeback, and she's reported to have improved a lot at home since, this race will demand a great deal more.

Spotlight
 11/1  12/1 11/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  By Study Of Man from a fine family for these connections, that of the 2008 Oaks winner Look Here; this filly has a strikingly similar profile to her, having won sole start as 2yo (1m on heavy) and come second in Listed race on reappearance; the latter race was at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm; 10-1) three weeks ago when getting to grips with Qilin Queen took some time but there was just a short head between them at the line; while her own dam was soundly beaten at 40-1 in her 2014 Oaks, this filly should find improvement over the extra 2f; it's very much needed but she is promising.

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Made most to win 1m Cork maiden last October; three Group 3 contests since, against the males on first two occasions but then finding marked improvement against her own sex to win eight-runner race at Navan (1m2f, soft) on latest, making all and keeping on strongly to do it in clearcut style; she's by Derby winner Australia and there's a good chance she too will be suited by this trip; could ask the market leaders some serious questions.

(33) Form: 1-4 Age: 3 Weight: 9-2
Spotlight
 12/1  14/1 16/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  By Dubawi out of very smart mare who was unraced beyond 1m2f; justified 4-6 favouritism in novice at Kempton (7f, AW) last August; that was her solitary race until 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in which she was a weak 22-1 but always prominent to finish fourth of ten, just over 2l behind Desert Flower; this is 1m4f but going up to at least 1m2f should suit and, after just two races, she should still have significant potential.

 20/1  18/1 20/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  By Pinatubo out of a 1m4f winner from classy family; unraced on softer than good; won second start as 2yo; placed in Listed events on next two outings before making all at that level in a ten-runner race at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm; raced freely) three weeks ago, hanging on by a short head from Revoir; faces another 2f here and keeping Revoir at bay may prove tricky, let alone finding the improvement she needs to beat all the rest as well.

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  By Night Of Thunder out of a Lingfield Oaks Trial winner; winning novice events at Lingfield (1m/1m2f, AW) on first two starts showed plenty of promise, which she followed with third of six in the Group 3 Musidora at York (10.3f, good to firm; weak 9-1) 23 days ago; may be able to improve again but Whirl left her nearly 6l behind at York.
