Olive The Twist will miss Sunday's Irish Oaks, the filly's trainer John Gosden announced yesterday. Speaking at Newmarket races, he said: "We put her in there to have a look to see what the opposition would be like - but we're going to take the easier option and will run her in a Listed race at Newmarket on July 17th."

Meanwhile, Walter Swinburn has been booked to ride Glorosia for Luca Cumani in the Kildangan Stud-sponsored event. Last year's Ascot Fillies Mile winner is usually the mount of Frankie Dettori but he has been claimed to ride Godolphin's ante-post favourite Bahr.

Swinburn has won the Irish Oaks twice before with Unite in 1987 and on Melodist who deadheated with Dimenuendo in 1988.
