Yorkshire Oaks 'might be on the agenda' for Kalpana

Andrew Balding reports that his King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Kalpana could be set for her next appearance in the Legends Global Yorkshire Oaks at York.
The five-year-old mare lowered the colours of Calandagan when she recorded a third course win at Ascot last month, but could be set to revert to her own sex in the Knavesmire Group One.
Speaking at Deauville, following the victory of Blue Bolt in the Prix Rothschild, Balding said: "She's good – she's had a quiet week since a pretty tough race.
"We are assessing the situation at the moment.
"She's in the Yorkshire Oaks – there certainly wouldn't be anything before that – but that might be on the agenda."
The win for Blue Bolt, hot on the heels of Kalpana's success, was a fourth winner of the afternoon for the Kinsgclere handler, and a third top-level win of the season for the stable.
"I've been doing it a long time; when it comes right, it's very rewarding.
"We've got a great team at home, they deserve it, and it's been fantastic."
