Formscan By John O'Riordan - Epsom Oaks winner MINNIE HAUK can double up for trainer Aidan O'Brien. Given that the front two pulled four lengths clear of the remainder, the absence of neck runner-up Whirl appears to have simplified the task for her stablemate. Despite the presence of four Ballydoyle fillies in the race, the daughter of Frankel is very much the one to beat. Fourth behind Minnie Hauk last month, Wemightakedlongway failed to build on that effort when occupying the same position in the Pretty Polly. Beaten just a half a length by the selection on debut, Subsonic disappointed on her seasonal reappearance at Naas in April. Having had excuses for that, the Johnny Murtagh-trained filly could be the dark horse.
