Ladbrokes St Leger Day on Saturday, September 10, also features the £75,000 Group Two One Call Insurance Champagne Stakes (2pm) for two-year-olds over seven furlongs.

The prestigious contest, a pointer to the following season’s Classics, has 32 horses remaining at the latest scratchings stage including the Aidan O’Brien-trained Power, winner of the Group Two Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and runner-up to La Collina in the Group One Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh on August 7. O’Brien is responsible for seven of the eight remaining Irish entries.

Red Duke
The John Quinn-trained Red Duke landed the Group Two Superlative Stakes over the distance at Newmarket in July before finishing an unlucky third to Chandlery in the Group Two Veuve Clicquot Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, while Caspar Netscher won the Group Two Gimcrack Stakes at York on August 19 for trainer Alan McCabe.

The William Haggas-trained Entifaadha is unbeaten in two starts and won the Group Three Acomb Stakes over the distance at York on August 17, while the Jeremy Noseda-trained Talwar has won his last three races, most recently the Group Three Sunshine Coaches Solario Stakes at Sandown on August 20.

Thursday, September 8, sees the staging of the Weatherbys Insurance £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes (2.25pm) over an extended six furlongs, which has 121 going forward at the scratchings stage.

The four-day Ladbrokes St Leger Festival runs from Wednesday, September 7, through to Saturday, September 10, inclusive.
