In depth
Verdict
Beautiful Day, tried in blinkers today, finished a head in front of BAMBIKA over C&D last month but had already had the benefit of a couple of runs and Jo Crowley's daughter of Kyllachy is expected to come out on top today as she did very well to get as close as she did having missed the break and then been short of room around the final turn. Newcomer Miming probably has more potential than most of these but she will almost certainly do better when tackling a longer trip.
