Tattycoram has the form edge on MUSIC PIECE and Winter's Song who have finished just over 2l ahead of her but now have to give her 6lb. However, those two penalised winners have demonstrated clear potential, as has the AW winner Star Of Light. It's not an easy choice at this early stage of their promising careers but Music Piece might emerge on top from Star Of Light.[Richard Austen]

Irish Oaks entry; by Camelot out of 1m/1m2f winner (also 14.5f Park Hill runner-up; RPR 105); ran in two novice events (1m, soft) last September, running on into second at Ascot and tidy winner at Haydock; no standout on form but she looks sure to improve as 3yo.
Oaks entry; by Frankel and the first foal of Irish Oaks/Prix Vermeille winner Star Catcher; 9-2 when winning an eight-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, looking green (carried head high) but coming from the rear to go on 1f out; Luke Catton retains the ride; while she probably faced limited opposition on debut, she could turn out to be a big improver.
Oaks entry; sister to three winners, notably Wuheida (7f-1m1f including US Grade 1; RPR 118), and half-sister to three winners; dam 1m-1m4f winner (including Group/Grade 1; 111); 11-2, won six-runner novice at Yarmouth (1m2f, good; Tattycoram just over 2l back third) three weeks ago by half a length, pushed along on the turn but leading 2f out; should be a lot wiser this time and looks a useful prospect.
By Nathaniel; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Mrs Sippy (US 1m3f Grade 2) and Phantom Flight (1m2f Listed), out of US 1m4f Listed winner from family of top miler Grand Lodge; in a warm race for debut.
Sister to Group-placed 1m winner Seattle Rock (RPR 96), closely related to 6f/7f winner Great Ambassador (Listed; 116); 16-1 for recent Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) and showed modest form in fifth of eight; should improve.
Promising third at Ascot (1m, soft) last September; Music Piece finished about 2l ahead that day and Winter's Song did the same at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) three weeks ago, when this one was hemmed in before making some late gains; has a 6lb pull with both, so in the mix, but not as striking as some.
