Irish Oaks takes shape Investec Oaks winner Snow Fairy was among four fillies supplemented for the Irish Oaks at the five-day confirmation stage for which there were a total of 17 entries. The Saeed bin Suroor-trained Hibaayeb and Sir Michael Stoute's Eldalil, who were first and second in the Ribblesdale Stakes, are set to clash again. The fourth addition was Mahmood Al Zarooni's Doncaster maiden winner Miss Jean Brodie, who carries the Godolphin colours along with Hibaayeb. Aidan O'Brien has a six-strong team headed by English Oaks third Remember When. The others are Awe Inspiring, Dance On By, Famous, Ice Empress and Lady Lupus. Jim Bolger has left in Epsom sixth Akdarena, while Kevin Prendergast has both Brazilian Beauty and Crystal Gal. Prix de Diane second Rosanara, trained by Alain de Royer-Dupre, is the sole French possible while Meeznah, Desert Sage and King's Vintage from Tom Mullins' stable complete the acceptors.
