Verdict
Cambridge is already prominent in the Oaks betting. She beat the re-opposing Regardez at Nottingham in October but will need to be well forward on her return if she's to get through this soft ground. Shama is around 25/1 for the Oaks after winning at Kempton on her reappearance but Lady Heidi has the stronger form with a Listed win in testing ground at Pontefract in October. The latter is also preferred to the more-exposed pair Latenightrequest and Lily Rules. Madame Chiang and Nancy From Nairobi are maiden winners but Queen Of Ice makes more appeal after picking up a conditions race at Kempton last month. EASTERN BELLE will appreciate the longer trip after three outings over 7f including a short-head defeat in soft going at Newmarket. John Gosden has trained two of the last three winners, with the The Fugue successful in 2012, and his filly may just have the edge over Cambridge on this surface.
