Profound looks a St Leger beauty

THE Irish Field St Leger at the Curragh this afternoon very much centres on the great Yeats and how strong he is going to prove in the market.

This is one of the greatest stayers in the history of racing and, if stripping anywhere near the peak of his powers, will make short work of the opposition.

The problem, of course, is that the Sadler’s Wells colt hasn’t been seen taking the Acot Gold Cup back in June and is now at the veteran stages stage as an eight-year-old.
