I reckon the real problem with this race is the competition for runners. Doncaster have the Mallard Handicap (£70k) over the Leger trip on Sunday, Chester have two races on Saturday, a Listed race over 1M 4 1/2F and a £100k handicap over 2M.
Not to mention the Park Hill Stakes, the Doncaster Cup and the St Leger at Doncaster.
It’s the equivalent of running a 3M conditions chase at Huntingdon during the Cheltenham Festival!
