Masked Marvel a true marvel

John Gosden and William Buick won a second successive St Leger when Masked Marvel proved too good for his rivals at Doncaster.

Sea Moon went off favourite and had a very unlucky passage being blocked more than once, and this

probably was not one of Peslier's greatest rides. He was able to finish off in great style when he finally

got out but it was too late, with Brown Panther running a great race to take second and leaving the fav in

third. Census didn't fire - which may have been due to the faster ground, and Blue Bunting was looking

like it was one race too many for the brave filly.

There was an upset earlier in the Champagne when Trumpet Major showed his liking for the better ground

to win from Red Duke with hot favourite Etifaadha only third - he may have been disadvantaged in the

small field as he was left exposed with nothing to chase.

The Park Stakes went to Premio Loco who at 7 is in the form of his life, with Dafeet second and The

Cheka third after having had every chance but seemingly unable to just find the line.

But it was Masked Marvel's day and we trust everyone was able to follow the tip.
