Simple Verse on the hunt for a win
Ralph Beckett's filly has failed to reach the same level of form as last season but she could rediscover her spark back at Doncaster this week
LAST year's St Leger winner Simple Verse is the star name among 19 entries for the DFS Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster on Thursday.
Ralph Beckett's filly has yet to get her head in front this season and returns to the scene of her controversial Classic success in which she lost the race in the stewards' room but was given it back on appeal.
Beckett also has Alyssa, winner of her last three races, and York Silver Cup scorer Pamona.
Sir Michael Stoute's progressive filly Abingdon is an interesting entry along with the John Gosden-trained California, who took the Lillie Langtry Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
Aidan O'Brien is represented by Yorkshire Oaks fourth Pretty Perfect, while his son Joseph has Arya Tara, who was third in the Irish St Leger Trial on her latest start.
