Calcutta: Setaflame, who has made his presence felt in the city classics, dominated by Desert God, may take some beating in the 2,800m Calcutta St Leger, the main attraction in the eight-event card at the races, here, on Thursday. Trained by Vijay Singh, the China Visit-Set Aside son will be partnered by P. Kamlesh.
The challenge to Setaflame, the likely favourite in the seven-horse field, may come from Romantic Magic and Waveafterwave.
