Thakafaat, surprise winner of the Ribblesdale Stakes, heads 19 entries for the Bet365 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock Park on Saturday.

John Dunlop's filly belied her odds of 22-1 to short-head Twyla Tharp at Royal Ascot at York.

The runner-up, who may renew rivalry, is one of four possibles from John Gosden's stable.

The Manton trainer is also responsible for Bowstring, Shastye and Playful Act.

The latter could make her comeback having been absent since winning the Group One Fillies' Mile at Ascot last September.

Other interesting entries include Kevin Prendergast's Irish raider Right Key, Cheshire Oaks winner Alumni, trained by Barry Hills, Sir Michael Stoute's Seven Magicians and Godolphin's Punctilious, winner of last year's Ribblesdale.
