Peslier Set For Dalvina Ride

Ed Dunlop is hoping Olivier Peslier will be available to partner Dalvina in the Vodafone Oaks at Epsom on Friday week.

The Grand Lodge filly is unbeaten in two starts to date and has been ridden by Jamie Spencer on both of those occasions.

However, Spencer will miss the meeting through suspension leaving Peslier, who won the 1998 Derby aboard High-Rise and steered Dunlop´s Ouija Board to Royal Ascot success last year, the first choice for connections.

'We´ve approached Mr Peslier,' said Dunlop. 'I think there are still some T´s to cross and some I´s to dot regarding some possible commitment in France but we have approached him and we´ll see if he´s available.

'I´ve used him before, he´s won a Derby, he knows his way around Epsom so hopefully all being well, he will be available.'
