St Leger Festival day one: John Hunt’s horses to follow

-

Sky Sports Racing presenter John Hunt nominates the horses he will be keeping onside at this week’s Cazoo St Leger Festival at Doncaster, live on Sky Sports Racing.

Intervention

1.50 Wednesday – Meriel Tufnell Apprentice Handicap

The opening race on Wednesday is a handicap for apprentice riders and Intervention looks another cracking acquisition for the Horsewatchers owners group, and can win again.

They know what a reliable rider Frederick Larson is so presumably they feel that his 3lb claim goes a long way to offsetting the rise generated by his last two victories at Chelmsford and Yarmouth. My sense is that he will take a hell of a lot of stopping in the Festival opener.
