Covert Love could take chance in St Leger

Irish Oaks heroine Covert Love could take her chance in the Ladbrokes St Leger if fast ground rules her out of the Darley Yorkshire Oaks later this month.

The daughter of Azamour took her record to four wins from just five starts when handling the step up to Group One company with aplomb at the Curragh.

She was supplemented for the Classic and would also need to be added for the York race, but trainer Hugo Palmer issued a warning that a dry spell leading up to the Ebor meeting would make connections think twice.
