Quality fare on opening day of what promises to be a St Leger meeting to remember

Doncaster hosts its first Betfred St Leger meeting since being officially handed the royal seals that bestow city status with a mood of confidence about the place. 

The fun and frolics of the Leger Legends have now been pushed back to a family-friendly Sunday slot, replaced with a no-nonsense blast of quality opening-day action. 

A pair of Group 2s restricted to fillies burnish the new day one, ably backed up by a hugely lucrative sales race that could spark the biggest celebrations of the afternoon for connections of the winner.
