Former stars of the weighing room get their silks on once more for the annual Leger Legends charity race at Doncaster on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Racing.<\/p>\n

3.00 Doncaster<\/strong> – Russell and Johnson feature in Leger Legends<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Richard Johnson and Davy Russell are two of the star names on show in the Vickers.Bet Leger Legends Classified Stakes (3.00)<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Russell, who announced his retirement for the second time at Aintree this year, will ride David O’Meara’s Culcor<\/strong>, who has been dropped to a handy mark having struggled on his last few starts.<\/p>\n

Richard Johnson gets the leg up on the Richard Spencer-trained Dandy Maestro<\/strong> who is another who needs to bounce back to form with cheekpieces hoping to eke out some improvement.<\/p>\n

Richard Hannon sends out Always Fearless<\/strong>, who has found a good vein of form winning two of his last three and Sky Sports Racing’s Seb Sanders takes the ride.<\/p>\n

Michael Appleby’s Mr Cuddihy <\/strong>– the mount of Jason Edmunds – ran a promising second on handicap debut at Newmarket on his last start and should have more to come having only had the four starts.<\/p>\n

3.35 Doncaster – Moore the one to beat on Cachet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is back to the current pros for the feature of the day, the Group Three Japan Racing Association Sceptre Fillies’ Stakes (3.35)<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Last year’s 1000 Guineas winner Cachet<\/strong> hasn’t been seen since finishing fifth in the Coronation Stakes in June 2022 and if fully fit for this contest, she will take all the beating under Ryan Moore.<\/p>\n

Andrew Balding has won three of the last five runnings of this and turns to Vetiver <\/strong>for this year’s renewal. The Cheveley Park-owned three-year-old took the Listed Eternal Stakes at Carlisle on her last start and returns from a break under P J McDonald.<\/p>\n

Only three lengths separated Magical Sunset<\/strong> and Dream Of Love<\/strong> last time out at Goodwood and the latter has a 3lb pull at the weights so might be able to close the gap.<\/p>\n

4.10 Doncaster – Fab four meet in Scarbrough Stakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A small but select field go to post for the Listed Betfred Scarborough Stakes (4.10)<\/em><\/a> over five furlongs.<\/p>\n

William Buick gets the leg up on Raasel <\/strong>who is coming here on the back of an impressive performance in the Be Friendly Handicap at Haydock when defying top weight off a mark of 107.<\/p>\n

Tom Clover will be hoping Rogue Lightning<\/strong> can continue his good run of form and make it a hat-trick of wins as he steps up in class under Danny Tudhope.<\/p>\n

Silkie Wilkie<\/strong> and Fine Wine<\/strong> complete the field for what should be an interesting tactical affair.<\/p>\n
