Ice Queen heads O'Brien's Yorkshire Oaks team
Racing Post staff
IRISH OAKS runner-up Ice Queen spearheads a three-strong Aidan O'Brien challenge in Thursday's Darley Yorkshire Oaks at York.
The wet weather and testing ground has seen the likes of Lush Lashes and Promising Lead sidestep the mile-and-a-half feature, but O'Brien still sends a sizeable team as he searches for yet more Group 1 glory.
Ice Queen was beaten just a short head by stablemate Moonstone at the Curragh and she will be joined by Oaks sixth Adored and ninth Honoria on the Knavesmire.
Passage Of Time, a Group 1 winner at two for Henry Cecil, leads the home defence along with last year's Prix Royal-Oak heroine Allegretto, trained by Sir Michael Stoute.
John Gosden will be double-handed with Dar Re Mi and Michita, while Peter Chapple-Hyam's Cape Amber completes the line-up.
