The entries for the Group 2 - Great Voltigeur are out. 30 entries with AOB having 17 of them.
22 are entered for the St Leger with the exceptions being: Surfman, Mohawk, Lancaster House, Jalmoud, Kangaroo Valley, Blenheim Palace, Bangkok and Kosciuszko.
Dashing Willoughby has a 3lb Group 2 penalty.
At this point I am looking for my St Leger fancies to go well here if they run at York.
Constantinople - I can see AOB looking at headgear to see if this colt can go more fully through with his finishing efforts. Not sure AOB will run him here, he could find an easier prep run and then take in the St Leger. I am hoping he isn’t a weak finisher, or for him to improve for a trip, which his breeding suggests he could.
Sir Dragonet - I backed him for the St Leger and the Chester Vase after his debut win. Collected at 12/1 on Chester Win, and now hoping he turns up here and rockets in to favourite for the St Leger, which would invigorate my long ago 25/1 St Leger betslip. I saw him more as Doncaster classic runner than an Epsom one, but he ran really well in the Derby, which didn’t dilute my confidence for the Leger.
Logician - I came to add him to my St Leger portfolio more recently at 18/1 & 16/1 after the possible AOB Donny plans became hazy. I thought a collapsing price could occur on this Gosden horse, but he is still available at 10/1 for Donny and seems to be the trainers most realistic chance of a short-priced St Leger runner.
