In depth
Verdict
Rich Affair was highly tried on her reappearance in Lingfield's Oaks Trial and is taken to open her account at the main expense of Largo and Bijoux. The selection represents the in-form stable of Sir Michael Stoute and the full-sister to the stable's useful middle distance performer Whitewater Affair, who looked in need of the outing at Lingfield, should appreciate the drop in class today. Largo has claims on the pick of her juvenile form but disappointed on her return at Newbury last month and the daughter of Selkirk remains a doubtful stayer. A similar comment applies to Richard Hannon's Bijoux, who is by King Of Kings. The remainder make limited appeal.
