Trainer Noel Meade has the Irish Oaks in mind for Epsom fifth Caught U Looking. The daughter of Harzand has been pleasing the Meath man ahead of a potential classic bid.

Fourth behind Ezeliya on her return at Navan in April, the three-year-old stepped forward from that race to run with credit in the fillies middle distance Group 1 last month.

Speaking at Bellewstown on Thursday, Meade said: "She came out of Epsom well. I was thinking of running her last week and then we went off the idea.

"Colin (Keane) rode her for the first time (since Epsom) the other day and he said he thinks she feels fantastic and that he hadn't felt her as good in a long time.

"I think it is quite probable she will run in the Irish Oaks - I know one of the owners is happy to do that and I think the other man will as well.

"She is in great form. Even going to Epsom, I was struggling with her but she is starting to look right again."
