Quality entry for Yorkshire Oaks Misty For Me and Snow Fairy head a superb list of 15 entries for the Darley Yorkshire Oaks next Thursday. Aidan O'Brien's three-year-old won the Pretty Polly Stakes on her latest start, and has since missed an engagement in the Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood due to unsuitable ground. Stablemates Spin and Wonder Of Wonders also feature among the latest six-day-entries, whilst Jim Bolger's Banimpire and Jessica Harrington's Laughing Lashes also form a strong Irish challenge. The latter's participation is somewhat ground dependant as she will run "if there is no mention of the word firm in the going". 2010 winner Midday, who was second to Misty For Me at the Curragh, also has an entry, although connections have expressed a preference for the Juddmonte International 24 hours earlier. Sir Henry Cecil instead looks set to rely on Vita Nova, an unlucky loser in the Lancashire Oaks last time, while Godolphin could saddle both Darley Irish Oaks winner Blue Bunting along with Rumh. Ed Dunlop's Snow Fairy was second in the race last year and plans to go one better, whilst Meeznah, Polly's Mark and Crystal Capella are interesting older horses amongst the 15. Brushing and Vivacious Vivienne complete the entries.
