Bandari heads 13 left in Leger

There were no surprise withdrawals from the Rothmans Royals St Leger at today‘s confirmation stage, with 13 horses remaining in the last Classic of the season.

Ante-post favourite Bandari, trained at Middleham by Mark Johnston, will be out to land the £400,000 Group One contest for the north for the first time since Peleid scored for Malton-based Bill Elsey in 1973.
