Hollie Doyle blog: Big fan of Forty Years On in Sceptre Stakes

The Japan Racing Association Sceptre Fillies Stakes (3.05) features on the final day of the Leger Festival at Doncaster, all live on Sky Sports Racing; Scandinavia stars in Irish St Leger at The Curragh

Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle previews the final day of the St Leger Festival at Doncaster - live on Sky Sports Racing – alongside top-quality action on Champions’ Weekend at The Curragh.

I've made no secret of my admiration for FORTY YEARS ON who can make an instant impact in Pattern company when she contests the feature race at Doncaster on Sunday, the Japan Racing Association Sceptre Fillies Stakes (3.05).

George Scott, who won Friday's Doncaster Cup with Caballo De Mar, has found a great opportunity for this most progressive daughter of Mayson who was much too good for her rivals in a valuable handicap at Goodwood last month.

She enjoys ease underfoot and can win for the sixth time in eight starts at the possible expense of Shadwell's Touleen , who brings solid Group One form to the race after her luckless run in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

She did look a bit awkward in the Valiant Stakes last time so the cheekpieces may just sharpen her focus, while Planet Seeker looks over-priced on the strength of her York form and her creditable fourth in the Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes at The Goodwood Festival.

It's hard to fault SAY WHAT YOU SEE in the Betfred Mallard Handicap (3.40) on Sunday following a string of rock-solid races for his trainer Liam Bailey this year.

He built on a near miss at Southwell with an eye-catching run at York's Ebor Festival, staying on from a long way back to finish a closing third over 12 furlongs and should appreciate this longer trip.
