Raceolly's St Leger Day Tips

Penzance is now 2lbs below the handicap mark he finished a good second behind a future Group One performer off at Newcastle. There is plenty more in behind that day have boosted the form since and that effort came on the back of four straight wins.

They ran a huge race at York in June off the back of a fair break and never had a chance last time after totally missing the start (usually quick out and on the pace). There is plenty in his favour here for an in-form yard.

Albasheer ran a huge race last time out in a listed race at Beverley over the bare five furlongs. That effort can be hugely marked up as he came from off the pace on a race that was run to suit those at the front and just failed by a nose to get up.

These conditions will be perfect, and the previous course winner is running off his last win mark despite going up 3lb for that latest effort.

Bopedro might be eight years old now but he’s still running his races and shows no sign of slowing down just yet. Finds himself off his lowest handicap mark in three years and 5lbs below his last win mark here and has course form to boast. He won’t mind any conditions but needs a bit of luck with his run style in these big races to get his head in front.

He ran races full of promise at Goodwood and Ascot lately that hinted the next win was due and finds himself 3lbs lower for this.
