With £7,500 to the winner the Jay And Kay Tours Kent St.Leger continues to grow in quality every year.
Saturday’s first round bristles with Cat One winners: Roxholme Poppy, Sheldan, Stardom, Bumblebee Bullet Aayamza Breeze, Goldies Hotspur, ably supported by others with realistic chances of joining the elite band including Roxholme Dolly, Affleck Bolt and Antigua Fire.
You might argue that the first heat alone would be worthy of Cat 1 decider.
