FESTIVAL BELL-TERS Revealing tales and top tips from ITV Racing's Oli Bell

Wins in the Cheshire, Epsom, Irish and now Yorkshire Oaks continued what's been a fine season for one of the standout performers of the season.

Granted the size of the field was disappointing, but you can beat only what's in front of you and that performance would have given Coolmore reason to smile after what I'm sure was a frustrating opening day of the meeting.
