The St Leger Festival moves into its second day at Doncaster with two quality Group Two contests headlining Thursday’s card, all live on Sky Sports Racing.
2.35 Doncaster – Dance In The Grass & Frankness top classy field
A quality field of 10 lines up in the Group Two Cazoo May Hill Stakes (2.35), a race won last year by superstar Inspiral.
Of this year’s potential world beaters, the standout is Mark Johnston’s unbeaten Cracksman filly Dance In The Grass, who has looked ultra-impressive in her two starts at Sandown and who has leading rider William Buick on board for the first time.
The same owner – Jaber Abdullah – runs two other top contenders, including another from the Johnston team in Ferrari Queen and Kevin Ryan’s Dubai Jemila.
Andrew Balding’s Frankness, a daughter of Frankel, has looked well above average in her two wins at Chester this year.
