The 2026 Yorkshire Oaks at York features a strong field led by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Kalpana, who aims to repeat her Ascot triumph, alongside last year's champion Minnie Hauk and Irish Oaks winner Johanna Walsh. Detailed entries list each runner’s recent form, trainer and jockey, and forecast odds ranging from 5‑4 for Kalpana to 66‑1 for outsiders like Sugar Island.
