Four major features on tap for Ngong’s Kenya St. Leger day at Ngong

Not wanting to tempt Providence, we cautiously back Honeybell Orange as a nap candidate for the Triple Crown at Ngong. Running against Cranleigh, Scott and Bampton over 2,800m in the Royal Artillery Kenya St Leger Cup, Honeybell's unbeaten in nine previous starts bodes well. It is still all about stamina, although that is not a factor.

Westwind is another firm favourite for the Aga Khan Diamond Jubilee Trophy. As a former Derby winner, that should be a piece of cake.

The Limuru Gymkhana Cup is on paper between Chadwick and Satyan, but Oliver Gray has an interesting entry in Coffee Break that has never been seen before. The imported colt has tasted some fame abroad, so if he gets used to the conditions there could be a sizzling epilogue.
