Five face super Sar
Sariska will face just five rivals as she bids for a third successive Group One victory in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks on Thursday.
Michael Bell’s filly edged out Midday to win the Oaks at Epsom on her penultimate start and followed up in scintillating style in the Irish equivalent.
Her chief rival on the Knavesmire would appear to be the John Gosden-trained Dar Re Mi, winner of the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on her latest outing.
Aidan O’Brien is double-handed with both Roman Empress and Tamarind representing Ballydoyle, while Barshiba and Saphira’s Fire complete the line-up.
Henry Cecil’s Flame Of Gibraltar was the only horse not to be declared and she runs in the European Breeders’ Fund Galtres Stakes on the same card instead.
