ALEXANDROVA IN NASSAU LIST

Ouija Board and Alexandrova feature among a star-studded entry of 29 fillies and mares for the Vodafone Nassau Stakes at Goodwood on August 5.
Alexandrova recently completed the same English and Irish Oaks double that Ed Dunlop's popular mare secured in 2004, and she could bid to provide Aidan O'Brien with his first win in the £200,000 event.

The Ballydoyle maestro is responsible for a further four entries in the 10-furlong test - Race For The Stars, Kushnarenkovo, Queen Cleopatra and Fermion.

Last year's heroine Alexander Goldrun would become only the third dual winner of the race if able to match the feat achieved by Roussalka and Ruby Tiger, and she could be joined by stablemates Tropical Lady and Senora Galilei.

Sir Michael Stoute has landed the contest no fewer than seven times and enjoyed a hat-trick between 2002 and 2004 with Islington, Russian Rhythm and Favourable Terms.

He relies upon Red Bloom and Echelon this time, and the pair could be joined by the fellow Cheveley Park Stud-owned duo of Confidential Lady and Royal Ascot heroine Nannina.

Confidential Lady finished fifth in last Sunday's Irish Oaks, and would be attempting to provide handler Sir Mark Prescott - who has also entered Intrigued - with a third win in the race if making the starting line-up.

Other possibles include Godolphin's Pictavia, John Dunlop's progressive Time On, and Rajeem, who sprung a 50-1 surprise in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket's July meeting.
