THE form of last year’s St Leger, which was already enhanced before the curtain came down on 2017, has been further enhanced in the early throes of the 2018 season.

The winner, Capri, won the Group 3 Alleged Stakes on his debut this season, runner-up Crystal Ocean
has now won the Group 3 Gordon Richards Stakes and the Group 3 Aston Park Stakes this season, and third-placed Stradivarius won the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup. (See above.)
