Aviate aiming to hit York heights

Aviate could replace Timepiece as Henry Cecil’s main hope to win a ninth Investec Oaks if she maintains her unbeaten record in Wednesday’s Tattersalls Musidora Stakes at York.

Both fillies are owned by Prince Khalid Abdullah but while Timepiece fluffed her lines for the second time this season at Lingfield on Saturday, Aviate was an impressive winner at Ascot a few weeks ago and could still make up into a Classic contender.
