The Fugue aims for Ribblesdale compensation Several beaten fillies in the Investec Oaks will aim for compensation in Thursday's Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot. The Fugue, who many thought was unlucky in the Classic after meeting trouble in running as the beaten favourite, is again likely to be well fancied for the John Gosden team. She finished just behind Oaks runner-up Shirocco Star, who renews rivalry. Just behind those two was William Haggas' previously unbeaten Vow, who was reportedly unsuited by Epsom. Other beaten in the Oaks turning up again include Godolphin's Kailani, once again ridden by Mickael Barzalona, the Ralph Beckett-trained Colima and Aidan O'Brien's Twirl, who will be partnered by Ryan Moore. Chances of a Royal winner rest with Michael Bell's Momentary, who beat Shirocco Star in a trial at Newbury. Pink Damsel was impressive when winning her maiden, while Princess Highway had Oaks heroine Was behind her when she claimed the Blue Wind Stakes. Chella Thriller, Dinvar Diva, Hazel Lavery, Inchina and Salford Art complete the 14-runner field.
