Eight distaffers will contest Thursday’s G1 Pertemps Network Yorkshire Oaks after two of the 10 overnight contenders were withdrawn before Tuesday morning’s declaration stage. Valmont and Newsells Park Stud Bloodstock’s G1 Irish Oaks heroine You Got To Me (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) is set to renew rivalry with Curragh runner-up Content (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). That Aidan O’Brien representative will be accompanied by stablemate and Irish Oaks 13th Port Fairy (Ire) (Australia {GB}). The latter had earlier accounted for the reopposing Lava Stream (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) in Royal Ascot’s G2 Ribblesdale Stakes, where You Got To Me ran fourth.

John and Thady Gosden are double-handed in the £500,000 feature and will rely on Emily Upjohn (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and Queen Of The Pride (GB) (Roaring Lion). The former makes her first visit to the Knavesmire since trouncing four rivals in the 2022 G3 Musidora Stakes while Queen Of The Pride comes back off a three-length victory in last month’s G2 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock. The line-up is completed by Hughie Morrison trainee Mistral Star (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum’s dual stakes-winning Sea Theme (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), from the William Haggas stable.
