Comer Group International Irish St Leger Trial Stakes (Group 3)
1m 6f
Going: Good (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneWORDSWORTH has shaped for a while as though staying would be his game and Aidan O'Brien's colt, who has placed twice behind Hurricane Lane in Group 1s, appeared to find his recent outing on the sharper side when fifth at Goodwood. The step back up in distance is likely to play to his strengths and victory here would cement his St Leger claims. Princess Zoe produced a fine effort to finish second in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot and the mare commands plenty of respect with softer conditions here in her favour, while Amhran Na Bhfiann and Twilight Payment are others who boast solid credentials.
