Lancashire Oaks: Rosscarbery won't make Haydock return after being ruled out

Paddy Twomey wants Rosscarbery to target major targets later in the summer.
Paddy Twomey's high-class filly Rosscarbery will not make a swift return to action in the bet365 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock on Saturday.
Having made a successful start to her campaign in the Munster Oaks at Cork, the four-year-old stepped up to Group One level for last weekend's Pretty Polly Stakes.
The daughter of Sea The Stars was beaten five lengths into fourth place and Twomey believes she would have picked up valuable black type but for being hampered by eventual winner Via Sistina.
The Irish trainer has, though, decided against bidding for swift compensation on Merseyside, instead electing to keep his powder dry for major targets later in the summer.
"I made the entry (at Haydock) just to keep my options open. She's entered in pretty much everything across the board," said Twomey.
"She's come out of the Curragh in good form. It was a pity what happened in the race as I think she'd have been in the first three with a clear passage.
"A mile and a quarter is her minimum trip - she stays a mile and a half and a mile and six. She needs everything to go right at 10 furlongs, so to get stopped in her tracks like that wasn't ideal, but it is what it is and we move on to the next day."
Considering future plans, he added: "We'll see what we do, but a race like the Yorkshire Oaks would be very suitable for her - a mile and a half with a long straight.
"I think a mile and a half sees her to best effect, as she showed in Cork in the Munster Oaks.
"We'll talk with the owners and make a plan, but the aim is to try to win a Group One if we can."
Twomey also entered Final Gesture for the Lancashire Oaks, but confirmed she will instead be readied for next week's Stanerra Stakes at Leopardstown.
