Last year's runner-up The Fugue went one place better in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks with an authoritative victory at York.

Second to the Arc and I do think she is that level. If the ground is good or faster, or even good to soft, that would be a strong possibility. She hates bottomless ground, so if it's like it was last year she won't go there.
"She went to the Breeders' Cup last year and didn't have much luck, but we'd be keen to go back.
"There is the Filly & Mare, but the mile-and-a-half race (Breeders' Cup Turf) could be more suitable for her."
