Leger going concern for favourite Kingston Hill

Roger Varian reiterated the ground must be suitable for Ladbrokes St Leger favourite Kingston Hill to take his chance in the Classic tomorrow.

The Derby runner-up has drifted slightly in the betting as the sun has continued to beat down on Town Moor for the first two days of the meeting, with connections of the colt warning that the going must be in his favour if he is to participate.

Although there is no further rain forecast, Varian is hoping the ground does not get any quicker over the next two days.
