Fairy among Leger Entries Ed Dunlop has given his dual Oaks winner Snow Fairy an entry in the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster on September 11. The Cristina Patino-owned filly has sprung to prominence this season with two startling performances at Epsom and the Curragh and would be an intriguing runner. Another Classic winner with the option is Aidan O'Brien's Cape Blanco. The Irish Derby winner is due to run in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes this weekend. O'Brien has also entered the forgotten horse of the season, St Nicholas Abbey, although the sponsors have not quoted him in their betting. Midas Touch, At First Sight, Fencing Master and Joshua Tree are others from Ballydoyle to be entered. Another contender is the Jeremy Noseda-trained Theology, owned by Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, who are enjoying a fantastic summer. He was second to Mikhail Glinka in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. "Theology has come out of the Queen's Vase very well. It was a tough race and agony for horse, jockey and everyone concerned that he just lost out by a nostril," said Harry Herbert, spokesman for the owners. "He is in good form now and Jeremy has been training him for Glorious Goodwood next week, either to run in the Gordon Stakes or the Goodwood Cup. "We want to have a good look at those Goodwood races before we decide which one he runs in. We are hopeful he will then continue to improve and the St Leger will certainly be a target. "The form of the Queen's Vase is working out well with Corsica (fourth) going on to win the Bahrain Trophy. "As Theology's Ascot run shows, there is no question mark over his stamina for Doncaster. "He stays well but I don't think he is short of speed either. When William Buick asked him to improve and move through horses he did it very well, so if he has improved again, which we hope he has, then he is a really exciting prospect." Godolphin have 10 entered with Mahmood Al Zarooni and Saeed bin Suroor having five each. The pick of their team looks to be Al Zarooni's Rewilding, German Derby winner Buzzword and Bin Suroor's Al Zir. The Mark Johnston pair of Monterosso and Corsica, Dandino, Ted Spread, Total Command and Meeznah are others worth noting among the 42. David Williams of Ladbrokes commented: "The decision to put the closing date of the race back three weeks has certainly paid dividends by handing connections more time to consider if they have a Ladbrokes St Leger contender on their hands. "We are naturally delighted to see such strength in depth among the entries for the 2010 Ladbrokes St Leger with several Classic winners among the possible starters on September 11." Ladbrokes St Leger - sponsors bet: 9-2 Midas Touch, Rewilding, 8-1 Cape Blanco, Snow Fairy, 12-1 Dandino, Monterosso, 14-1 Total Command, 16-1 bar.
