**STAR MEETING**
Doncaster (first race 2.10)
It's ladies' day on Town Moor and the girls dominate proceedings on the track. The Group 2 William Hill May Hill Stakes (3.45) has attracted a field of crack juvenile fillies, but the Group 2 DFS Park Hill Stakes is the standout contest of day two of the St Leger meeting. Lillie Langtry winner Enbihaar and the Ed Vaughan-trained Dame Malliot dominate the market. (2.40: racecard | preview).
Going Good to firm (8.1 at 6.45am)
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Enbihaar (2.40)

Clerk of the course Roderick Duncan said of conditions: "It's possibly a touch quicker in places in the middle of the home straight.

"There's the very remote chance of a shower after racing today but other than that there's little sign of rain before the end of the meeting."
