The third Classic of the season takes place at Epsom on Friday, with a field of nine assembled for the Oaks. Our expert tips include a selection to take on the favourite in that race, as well as best bets across the card.
In the 13:30, WEDONTTELLLIES is the ante-post favourite, but with the ground turning soft, there are doubts. However, his dam's best efforts came on slow ground, and Richard Hughes has booked Billy Loughnane for the ride. Having won over 5f at Goodwood last time out, he looks good enough to defy a 6lb rise. Tip: Wedonttelllies at 5/1 with bet365.
The 14:40 features last year's winner Persica and Group 1 Sussex Stakes winner Qirat. At the prices, BOILING POINT looks worth an each-way wager. He won the Cambridgeshire last year, and his best form is the pick in this field. Tip: Boiling Point each-way at 5/1 with Betfred.
In the 15:15, ALPHA CRUCIS has recorded all his wins on soft or heavy ground and has finished runner-up on both starts at Epsom. He ran well on reappearance in the Lincoln and looks a cracking each-way bet at double-figure odds. Tip: Alpha Crucis each-way at 9/1 with Paddy Power.
The Oaks (16:10) sees favourite Amelia Earhart, trained by Aidan O'Brien, who has won seven of the last 11 runnings. However, LEGACY LINK, trained by the Gosdens, is open to further improvement stepping up in trip and represents better value at twice the price. Tip: Legacy Link at 5/1 (general).
