Leger trail on Time

Henry Cecil is pleased with the progress his Ladbrokes St Leger heartening Father Time has been making since his commanding display at Royal Ascot.
The Dansili colt powered away with the King Edward VII hazard in June and will have his definite race before the Classic in the Great Voltigeur at York next week.
Cecil told his website, www.henrycecil.com: "The plan since Ascot has been the St Leger. We gave him a short break after Ascot and conclude that the Voltigeur was the consummate race to see where we're at with him."
He added: "He seems to be advancement nicely both mentally and physically and is very happy in himself."
Father Time is a 6-1 all of a sudden with the patron for the final Classic of the season, although Cecil could have a possible dark horse for the race in 19-length Newmarket winner Manifest.
"He won really nicely, but he has had only two races so I do not want to take on older horses," added Cecil.
"I haven't yet authorited out the St Leger, but we'll have to see what Father Time does as he runs for the same connections (Prince Khalid Abdullah)."
