Group-race action continues on Town Moor on Friday, with the Flying Childers Stakes and the Doncaster Cup taking centre stage. Pershaada failed to put her best foot forward in last month’s Nunthorpe but she is a major player back down in grade if returning to her previous form.Aidan O’Brien sends Queenstown over for the Doncaster Cup, with nearly £100,000 going to the winner. Caballo De Mar will be looking to better the York form and should make a proper race of it, while Winday is another not to underestimate after looking progressive for Emmet Mullins.As was the case on Thursday, it’s a competitive card with plenty to get stuck into and hopefully we can uncover some decent value.Top horse racing offerSt Leger Festival day 2 (Friday) tips1.15 Nabati – 6/4 with SBK NAP1.50 Celtic Chariot – 11/2 each way with bet3652.25 Pershaada – 5/2 with Midnite3.00 Queenstown – 15/8 with bet365 NEXT BEST3.35 Silver Lake – 2/1 with BOYLE Sports4.10 Victoria Night – 11/10 with Paddy Power4.45 Beresford Gap – 7/1 each way with bet3655.20 Almekarem – 5/1 each way with Sky BetJoe’s best horse racing betting tips for St Leger Festival Day 2 (Friday 11th September 2026)Find my top tips for Friday 11th September 2026 racing with odds from the best horse racing bookies below:Doncaster 1.15 Betfred Flying Scotsman Stakes (Listed) (Class 1) (2YO only) 7fAs always with the Flying Scotsman there is a lot of potential lining up but NABATI has done very little wrong winning two of his three starts and with the promise of more to come again now tackling 7f I think he can come out on top.Buick rode the winner 12 months ago in Avicenna and has a good record in the race having won it twice in the past four years.Rock Montreal represents last years winning yard and justified strong support to win on debut at Yarmouth. Hard to know if he beat much but it was impressive so if he steps forward he could put up the most resistance. Bet on NABATI to win at 6/4 with SBK Doncaster 1.50 Betfred Leger Legends Classified Stakes (Straight) (Class 5) (3YO plus) 1mTime for the Leger Legends to saddle up so not a race to go crazy in by any means! A tentative vote goes to CELTIC CHARIOT who let backers down last time but did have excuses. He had won his previous two starts so if bouncing back could have a big say in the outcome here with Adrian Nicholls booked for the ride.Nyman impressed scoring at Thirsk so looks the danger off the back of that. At a big price Adam Kirby saddles Caragio who could have a squeak as that win at Yarmouth earlier in the season was quite impressive. Bet on CELTIC CHARIOT each way at 11/2 with bet365 Doncaster 2.25 Carlsberg Danish Pilsner Flying Childers Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (2YO only) 5fFlann Sunna is surely better than he managed to show at Glorious Goodwood but even so PERSHAADA is very solid and will take a lot of beating if back to her best. She beat Adonius at Glorious Goodwood which was impressive and then was highly tried in the Nunthorpe at York last month.She was nearer last than first but back down in these calmer waters she looks a huge player and I make her the one to beat.Flann Sunna is still armed with potential and could easily be the danger. Sale Shark showed a likeable attitude to win last time beating Adonius which is decent form so is another one to note in a competitive renewal. Bet on PERSHAADA to win at 5/2 with Midnite Doncaster 3.00 Betfred Howard Wright Doncaster Cup Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (3YO plus) 2m2fAfter some consistent runs in defeat last season QUEENSTOWN impressed bolting up at the Curragh on reappearance last month.It really was quite a taking performance as he didn’t have an easy lead either as Dallas Star kept pestering but he readily asserted in the closing stages and ended up beating Royal Ascot winner Kizlyar by over four lengths. He arrives a fresh horse and looks worth keeping on side.Caballo De Mar was disappointing at York last month. I know his trainer fancied him to take a lot of beating but he found little off the bridle and was well held.He will need to bounce back but the ground is probably on the quicker side than ideal so unless the heavens open I think Aidan O’Brien holds the key here.Winday is unexposed but this requires a big step up. Bet on QUEENSTOWN to win at 15/8 with bet365 Doncaster 3.35 British Stallion Studs EBF Premier Fillies’ Handicap (GBBPlus Race) (Class 2) (3YO plus) 1m4fNow stepping up to a mile and a half SILVER LAKE could improve again and land the four-timer here. She hasn’t looked back since going handicapping and I thought was value for more than the narrow margin at York last month.With the likes of Nochebuena, Golden Muse and Thatwilldoso all pushing forward she could get a perfect trip into the race and if that happens she will be hard to beat under James Doyle.Room Fourteen is quite a big price as while she has ground to make up with the selection on that Glorious Goodwood form she was progressive before that and some of her form is really stacking up now.She is nearly a double-figure price under Saffie Osborne so could be worth an each way saver as I can see her running well. Bet on SILVER LAKE to win at 2/1 with BoyleSports Doncaster 4.10 Coopers EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (GBB Race) (Class 2) (2YO only) 7fI thought Pat Dobbs should have won on VICTORIA NIGHT at Sandown. She went through the race like the winner and he was just a bit tentative in the closing stages which I guess can be expected with a 2yo on debut.She kept trying all the way to the line but just got caught out by inexperience with the winner Tall Trees toughing it out. She will know a lot more this time and with Sean Levey on now is expected to get off the mark and will probably be heavily backed to do so.Debutant She’s Got A Way could give her most to think about. Karl Burke has had another terrific season and she certainly looks the part on paper being by Lope De Vega.Ryan Moore is jocked up and the betting will be worth noting as it’ll probably be a good indication to her chance. Bet on VICTORIA NIGHT to win at 11/10 with Paddy Power Doncaster 4.45 Tanbry Construction Nursery (Class 4) (2YO only) 6fLaunch Sequence is interesting here for Wathnan Racing but I did expect more from him at York last month so I am chancing BERESFORD GAP instead.This colt has got better with every start and was only beaten two lengths at Southwell when last seen. He has more to come now pitched into a nursery and should go close under Oisin Murphy.Plenty of dangers including Henley On Thames who showed a good attitude to prevail at York and is now chasing a hat-trick.Super Tuscan was only a neck behind him last time so on that form line is another one in with a shout in an open looking contest. Bet on BERESFORD GAP each way at 7/1 with bet365 Doncaster 5.20 Pertemps Network Handicap (GBBPlus Race) (Class 4) (3YO plus) 1m2fA tricky race to close out but I thought ALMEKAREM was a bit unlucky not to win at Salisbury and then he backed that up with a solid effort in defeat at Epsom last month.He has been pretty consistent and off an unchanged mark is expected to be bang there again under Luke Morris. This big field could help especially if he gets a good pace to run down.Fans Favourite has already won three times this season and handled the soft ground well to win at Beverley last time. Another small rise is manageable and Oisin Murphy gets his leg up for the first time too which is obviously another positive.At a bigger price Illy’s Roo might be able to run into a place. Bet on ALMEKAREM each way at 5/1 with Sky Bet My top tip for Day 2 of Doncaster St Leger FestivalAnother really good days action from Doncaster and I have a confident double which consists of the progressive NABATI in the opener as well as QUEENSTOWN in the Doncaster Cup who should prove hard to beat under Ryan Moore.
