Verdict

Having had just the three runs, Second Set’s half-sister GENEVA SPUR has far more scope than her rivals. She shaped nicely on her reappearance and Turf debut at Yarmouth when finding the 6f too sharp. Break Of Day won at Lingfield before finishing third at Yarmouth and has obvious claims while Harbour Times is getting weight from all but one of her rivals. Recuerdame has yet to show much on Turf, however, while Lady Monica seems better over 6f. Arriba De Toda is consistent in this grade but now 0-15.
