Cecil buoyed by Midday form

Henry Cecil believes Midday is a better horse this year as she attempts to win the Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood for a third successive season.

Now a five-year-old, the daughter of Oasis Dream has won five times at the highest level but arrives in Sussex on the back of a rare lacklustre run in Ireland, when she had no answer to Aidan O’Brien’s Misty For Me in the Pretty Polly Stakes.
