Currently a 25/1 chance for the Oaks, WEDDING VOW can see those odds tumble as though she was a well-beaten second at Gowran that form looks much better now given the winner, Legatissimo, went on to win last week's 1000 Guineas. The Ballydoyle filly should come into her own over this longer trip and is preferred to the returning Supreme Occasion. The latter has claims on her fourth in September's May Hill at Doncaster while Bellajeu is expected to improve given Ralph Beckett has won the last two renewals which included subsequent Oaks runner-up Secret Gesture in 2013. Toujours L'amour and Nadder are both entered in the Ribblesdale at Ascot and make more appeal than winning handicappers Affileo and Mercy Me.
