Formscan By Donal Murphy - There was just three quarters of a length between CAPE PRIMROSE and Johanna Walsh when they finished second and third at Thurles in October. Likely to be little between them again here, the Aidan O'Brien-trained former is marginally preferred. Out of dual Group 1 winner Again, the St Mark's Basilica bay holds Irish and Epsom Oaks entries. A E460,000 Goffs yearling purchase, the aforementioned Joseph O'Brien-trained Johanna Walsh is another that could be Epsom Oaks bound, and she is sure to give the selection plenty to think about. O'Brien is also represented by debutant Rebel Moon and this one warrants the utmost respect, considering she cost 500,000 pounds at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. A solid third on debut at the Curragh, Feel The Love is another leading hope, but in truth, none of the seven can be safely ruled out here.
