Tips and preview
The 250th running of the St Leger Stakes gives this year’s festival extra weight, and with the race traditionally attracting a strong Group 1 field of stayers, each-way markets are worth watching closely given standard place terms will apply across most bookmakers. Last year’s winner, Scandinavia, was trained by Aidan O’Brien and ridden by Tom Marquand, O’Brien’s third consecutive win in the race, a run of form worth factoring in when the market takes shape.
Full field, form, and jockey bookings will be added closer to the meeting once declarations are confirmed.
18+. Please gamble responsibly.
