Lucky Seven for St LegerLUCKY SEVEN LINE UP FOR ST LEGER Only seven horses were declared at the five day stage for Saturday's St Leger at Doncaster and Aidan O'Brien's Scorpion heads the market at even money. Sir Michael Stoute is represented by Great St Voltigeur winner Hard Top who is bidding to break the trainer's hoodoo in the oldest classic and is offered at 5-2 at VCBetThis is Sir Michael's 20th attempt at the race and "The only Classic missing from my CV" stated the trainer who continued "He goes to Doncaster as a pretty fresh horse with just two races but he also lacks a bit of experience". VC Bet's Neal Wilkins said "Hard Top has been the "springer" in the market and was available at 25-1 after winning his maiden at Lingfield. He has been in steady demand since his gutsy win at York and will prove a real threat to Scorpion".
