AIDAN O’BRIEN has two Vodafone Oaks victories to his name – Shahtoush (1998) and Imagine (2001) – and the Irish handler has a couple of entries remaining in the fillies’ Classic at Epsom after yesterday’s forfeit stage.

His main hope is Yesterday, a full-sister to last year’s runner--up Quarter Moon, who is currently disputing favouritism with Hi Dubai at around 7-2.

Yesterday was a Listed winner last season and ran a good trial for Epsom when eighth in the Sagitta 1000 Guineas at Newmarket last time out. O’Brien’s other hope is L’Ancresse, 15th in that race.
