Savethelastdance heads 13 Yorkshire Oaks confirmations

Aidan O'Brien's Irish Oaks heroine heads a field of thirteen confirmations in Thursday's Yorkshire Oaks.

Success looked unlikely for the daughter of Galileo at the Curragh last-time-out, but she stayed on strongly to deny Bluestocking by half a length at the line and is currently the 2/1 market leader with Paddy Power for Thursday's feature.

Ralph Beckett's Bluestocking is next in the betting at 7/2 with Gosden's multiple Group 2 scorer Free Wind a general 4/1 chance.

Free Wind remains in contention as the sole candidate from Clarehaven stables with both Soul Sister and Emily Upjohn notable absentees.

Aidan O'Brien could saddle up to four with Ribblesdale winner Warm Heart featuring alongside both Lambada and Red Riding Hood.

The progressive Al Husn could take the step up to twelve furlongs for the first time following her hard-fought success in the Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, while Newmarket Listed winner Novakai and Lancashire Oaks scorer Poptronic to pick from both remain in the mix for Karl Burke.

Sea Silk Road may bid to reverse the Lancashire Oaks form and Rosscarbery looks set to represent Paddy Twomey.

George Boughey's Via Sistina does feature amongst the thirteen confirmations but has been declared to run in the Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville on Sunday.
