Midday 'unlikely' York starter

Midday is unlikely to have a rematch with Sariska in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks in two weeks' time.Henry Cecil's filly has been beaten by Michael Bell's star in both the English and Irish Oaks, but gained a deserved first Group One success in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood. Connections are now looking at the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp and at the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner Khalid Abdullah, said: "I think she's unlikely to go to York. We'll probably look at the Prix l'Opera or the Breeders' Cup."Midday completed a notable double for the owner following Zacinto's victory in the Listed Blue Square Premier Stakes in what was his first race since September and only the third in his career.Plans have yet to be finalised for the Dansili colt, although among the races likely to be considered include the Totesport.com Celebration Mile back at Goodwood on August 29, the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on September 13 and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot two weeks later.Grimthorpe added: "He's done well to come back after 11 months off course. It was very pleasing. I haven't really discussed plans with Sir Michael at the moment, but I would think the races would be in the mile-mile and a quarter range definitely."
