SNOW FAIRY, 5-1 second-favourite with the sponsors for the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster on September 11, remains very much a part of the final classic, though Ed stresses that a final decision on her participation on Town Moor will not be made until as late as possible.
He said "We have seen this week how the weather can change the ground at short notice, so there is no point in jumping in with an early statement. We were proud with the way she ran against Midday in the Yorkshire Oaks and she has come out of the race fine, but the St Leger and the Prix Vermeille at Longchamp are the same week-end, so there is no rush for a decision. Snow Fairy's owner-breeder, Cristina Patino, is away at present, but we'll have a chat when she returns and weigh up all the options."
