Trainer Henry Cecil’s Passage of Time, who became the trainer’s first Group One winner since Beat Hollow with her victory at the Criterium de Saint-Cloud, is favorite among 15 contestants to win the Epsom Oaks. Cecil will go for his first British Classic triumph since 2000.

Godolphin, who won the race with Kazzia in 2002, will be represented by Measured Tempo and Ed Dunlop, who won in 2004 with Ouija Board, will be present at the race with Dalvina, winner of the Pretty Polly Stakes. Lingfield Oaks Trial winner Kayah has also been signed up for the competition.

“Kayah's work has been very satisfactory since her Lingfield win and we are going to supplement her for the Oaks,” Trainer Ralph Beckett explained. “Everything has gone well and we are hopeful of a good run.”

The field is completed by Aidan O’Brien’s All My Loving, Cherry Hinton, Nell Gwyn and Peeping Fawn; John Oxx’s Four Sins; Simply Perfect, Darrfonah, Silkwood, Dance of Light and Sues Surprise.
