Salisbury today has been cancelled.  Apparently chafer grubs have damaged the round course turf.  Leicester has no problems and goes ahead, starting at 2:10 with an interesting Novice Stakes over 7f for fillies.  A good bit of support around for Just Be Friendly, who ran better than her last place finish at Ascot 46 days ago.  She will however have to of improved to beat the experienced Impulsion, who has solid form, and ran well in a good listed race recently. At 3:45 Equilateral is short odds to beat his two rivals over the minimum trip of 5f.

Looking ahead to the big races this week.  Doncaster starts its 4 day meeting tomorrow, with the St Leger the main race on Saturday.  It looks open this year, not totally sure what are the final runners yet.  If Lah Ti Dar does take her chance, I could see her having a good chance of beating the colts, she is also entered on Sunday in France, so not a definite starter at Doncaster.
