This should be straightforward for MINNIE HAUK, who can emulate Alexandrova and Snowfall and become the third Aidan O'Brien-trained filly to complete the Oaks/Irish Oaks double. Wemightakedlongway, who was 5¼ lengths behind the selection in fourth at Epsom, is the obvious one to follow her home.

    Smart filly. Navan Group 3 winner on soft in April. Good 5¼ lengths fourth to Minnie Hauk in Oaks at Epsom and backed that up when 3¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Whirl in Pretty Polly over 1¼m here 3 weeks ago, staying on as if this return to 1½m will suit. Can follow the favourite home.
