This Is The Day finished ahead of a number of these when third in Listed company at Nottingham. Tioga Pass was not far behind the former but My Spirit, Pleasant Valley and Solar Magic were all well beaten. Winters Moon has been disappointing so far this year while Covert Love steps up from winning a handicap and Journey was only a maiden winner at Newbury. TALMADA (NAP) finished ahead of Kleo when fourth at Haydock over 1m4f but had earlier gone close in the Group 2 Middleton Stakes over today's trip at York behind Secret Gesture. Roger Varian's filly should be bang there at the finish with a similar effort so gets the vote.
