Our leading horse racing expert, Dave Revers, has been studying this season’s form and has picked out his two best Ante-Post tips ahead of the 2025 Irish Oaks at The Curragh.

Minnie Hawk to Win

MINNIE HAWK may seem a boring and obvious selection, but the G1 Epsom Oaks winner is far clear of her rivals. It’s better to focus on winning the race, rather than try to pluck potential each-way angles for the main win selection.

The Aidan O’Brien is a strong trends qualifier for completing the Oaks double - she scored last-time-out and over 1m4f, has run at least twice this season and is rated 103 or higher. Once a filly hits top form for this yard, there is often even further improvement ahead, which bodes well for this type. Snowfall was a similar top-class filly, who landed the Oaks double in 2021.

Bedtime Story E/W

BEDTIME STORY has excellent each-way prospect here. Desert Flower and Catalina Delcarpio are now non-runners, which of course helps Bedtime Story's case for a positive run.

She ran a solid second in the French Oaks, over the extended 1m2f journey. The extra distance could prove to be a catalyst for progress, and as a daughter of Frankel, it would be reasonable to expect so.
