Owner Anthony Oppenheimer hopes Frankly Darling can complete Classic full house in Investec Oaks at Epsom

Oppenheimer wants to win the Oaks at Epsom. Frankly Darling is a leading contender. The John Gosden-trained filly won the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot last week. Oppenheimer has enjoyed an incredible few years, with the 2015 Derby and Arc hero Golden Horn, Cracksman, the top-class fillies Star Catcher and now Frankley Darling. Protocols currently in place to battle the coronavirus pandemic do not permit owners to attend race meetings. However, Oppeheimer would love to be at the Epsoms on July 4th.

Why Savethelastdance would be a fitting Oaks winner for both her sire and dam

The most recent winner of the Cheshire Oaks to follow up in the Oaks at Epsom was Enable in 2017 but there must be a good chance that this week's wide-margin winner, Savethelastdance, will complete the same double. Even allowing for the very testing conditions, the way she powered clear of her rivals to win by a distance more usually seen over…

Ben Linfoot's Big-race analysis: Must it be Love? Darley Yorkshire Oaks

Aidan O'Brien's Love goes into the Darley Yorkshire Oaks with rock-solid claims and on form she probably deserves to be every inch as short as 1/2 and lower. But. There is a but. Plenty of York Group Ones, including the Yorkshire Oaks, have swallowed up and spat out odds-on favourites before, so it's at least worth a look at the numbers and the…
