Covert Love tops Yorkshire Oaks declarations Classic winner Covert Love heads a field of 11 declared for the Darley Yorkshire Oaks at York on Thursday. The Hugo Palmer-trained filly won the Darley Irish Oaks in tremendous fashion to take her unbeaten record this term to four and was supplemented for this Group One which is open to older fillies and mares at the confirmation stage. She will be reopposed by the Jessica Harrington-trained Jack Naylor and David Wachman's Curvy, who were second and third respectively behind her at the Curragh last month. Aidan O'Brien has two remaining entries, last week's Gowran scorer Easter and Outstanding, who was third in the Belmont Oaks in New York on her latest start. Jim Bolger has pitched in his Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Pleascach, while completing the line-up are Lustrous, Miss Marjurie, Crystal Zvezda, Lady Of Dubai, and Sea Calisi, trained in France by Francois Doumen.
