Secret Gesture has been the big firmer in English Oaks markets due to her impressive victory in the pouring rain at Lingfield.

The Lingfield Oaks Trial was the same lead-up race used by trainer Ralph Beckett for his one and only British Classic victory so far, although Look Here was actually beaten on the Surrey course in 2008 while Secret Gesture strolled home by 10 lengths.

Beckett has already unveiled a legitimate Epsom contender in the Pretty Polly winner Talent but Secret Gesture appears to have even greater ability.

Coral have her as 4-1 joint-favourite with Moth while Ladbrokes go 6-1 with Moth 7-2.

"That was probably better than I expected," Beckett said.

"I'm not sure she has beaten much but I'm very pleased with how she has shown up today.

"Some colleagues said I hadn't left much on her but I actually haven't done much with her and she doesn't need much work.

"Let's see how Sir Michael Stoute's filly (Liber Nauticus) shows up at York next week.

"Look Here never showed much at home, so it's unfair to make comparisons."

The deluge robbed the Derby Trial of its odds-on favourite Greatwood at the last minute, leaving Nevis to provide Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore with their third such event of the week.

Nevis, the 4-9 favourite after a reshuffle, was out of his depth behind Dawn Approach in the National Stakes but was not hard-pushed to beat Elidor and two other moderate rivals by nine lengths, joining Chester trial winners Ruler Of The World and Magician in the Derby shake-up.

Trainer Luca Cumani said Greatwood might head to Royal Ascot instead of the Derby.

"We didn't run because of the ground and he will either go for the Dante and then the Derby, or the old Predominate at Goodwood then miss the Derby and go to Royal Ascot," he said.

Dawn Approach is best priced at 7-4 for the next month's Derby at Epsom.
