Doubt over Alexandrova run

THE clash between Peeping Fawn and Alexandrova in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks tomorrow looks in doubt.

Both fillies are trained by Aidan O’Brien and have already won three Group Ones apiece.

Peeping Fawn is on the crest of a wave following victories in the Pretty Polly, Irish Oaks and Nassau Stakes, but Alexandrova, who won last year’s race, has not been seen since last October.

O’Brien told www.racingpost.co.uk yesterday: “We discovered that Alexandrova was a bit tight behind when she came in from exercise this morning. We will see how she is tomorrow but there has to be a serious doubt about her running.”
