Verdict
Rated 109, Winters Moon is fitted with a visor after finishing a well-beaten third behind Oaks fancy Star Of Seville at Newbury. The latter is trained by John Gosden who won this with subsequent Oaks winner Taghrooda last year. He runs Kempton winner Jazzi Top this time round and she is also entered at Epsom along with ZANNDA. Dermot Weld will get a good look at some of the potential opposition with his recent Leopardstown winner and the Irish filly may well be good enough. Nadder, Namhroodah and Lulani all ended last year winning maiden races and this will be a better test of their Oaks credentials while Richard Hughes partners Teosroyal and Ralph Beckett runs Forte having won this in 2013 with subsequent Oaks heroine Talent.
