Roger Varian won the last renewal in 2019 and Teona will be a warm order after her visually-impressive victory at Newcastle. She's among the favourites for the Oaks with Noon Star not too far behind in the market. Sir Michael Stoute's daughter of Galileo out of the brilliant Midday was sent to Nottingham to lose her maiden tag then won a novices' race at Wetherby which is a far cry from this but she has untapped potential and looks certain to be thereabouts. Mystery Angel has the best form in the book having won a Listed contest at Newmarket 10 days ago. But she'll need to step up again as will Auria, though the latter was staying on well over a mile at Ascot. SNOWFALL has a world-class pedigree and though she didn't exactly excel as a juvenile she could come into her own this campaign and connections could hardly be in better form so she's handed a speculative vote.
