Eswarah heads a dozen runners for the Vodafone Oaks at Epsom on Friday as trainer Michael Jarvis seeks his first win in the fillies' Classic.

The big race, due off at 1610 BST, tops a high-quality card on Ladies' Day, the first of two days at the Derby meeting.

Aidan O'Brien, a winner in the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas, saddles Mona Lisa, Virginia Waters and Silk And Scarlet.

The 1,000 Guineas winner Virginia Waters was added to the race at a cost of £20,000.

Godolphin's Fen Shui was the only other supplementary entry for a contest which now carries a total prize fund of £390,000.

Dermot Weld's Dream To Dress and the Jim Bolger-trained Pictavia are the other Irish runners.

John Dunlop runs Lingfield Oaks Trial winner Cassydora and Michael Bell, who trains Derby favourite Motivator, will bid to spark a Classic double with Higher Love.

David Elsworth, who runs The Geezer in the Derby on Saturday, has Lupe Stakes winner Something Exciting.

Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Magical Romance represents Brian Meehan while Mick Channon's Joint Aspiration completes the line-up.

Earlier, Epsom hosts another Group One race in the Coronation Cup (1530), where the veteran Warrsan bids for a third victory.
