Was could return on Saturday Last year's Oaks winner Was could make her seasonal return in the Group Three Abu Dhabi Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday. Aidan O'Brien's charge failed to win again in four starts after her Epsom victory, although she twice finished third in Group One company. She is the only Ballydoyle entry in the race, in which David Wachman has the choice of Aloof and Precious Stone, both of which are also owned by the Coolmore team. Sir Henry Cecil's Dahlia Stakes second Chigun and the Roger Charlton-trained third Thistle Bird could clash again while William Haggas' Sentaril is the other British-trained contender. The well-regarded Caponata has been entered by Dermot Weld while Ger Lyons' Lily's Angel has already won at Listed and Group Three level this term. Lady Wingshot, La Collina, Romantic Stroll and Sindjara complete the list of 11 possibles.
