Haggas happy to bide his time

Trainer Williams Haggas admits he will wait until next week before deciding if Sea of Class runs in the Investec Oaks at Epsom.

Thirteen fillies remain in the running for the race after the latest forfeit stage on Friday.

Haggas’ Sea Of Class, an impressive winner at Newbury last weekend on just her second start, is still in contention, but Lah Ti Dar will miss out.

As a result, Sea Of Class has been left in, while Haggas still has Give And Take to fall back on.

Owners and trainers could still withdraw before the race on June 1, with Wild Illusion, Magical and Forever Together are all well fancied.

When asked about his charge, Haggas told ITV Racing: “I don’t know, really. She’s a bit inexperienced, but the favourite coming out makes you wonder, so I think it is very possible she might run.

“We’ve said we’ll decide on Wednesday morning and that’s what we’re going to do.”

Trainer Aidan O’Brien has named eight runners, while Clive Cox’s Lingfield winner Perfect Clarity and David Simcock’s Ejtyah are also in the picture.
