uk David Menuisier's Sunway is the best of the rest at 6-1. But Charlie Appleby be without a runner after Godolphin decided Ancient Wisdom would be campaigned elsewhere. A statement on their official X account read: "Ancient Wisdom will not be confirmed for the @DoncasterRaces St Leger Stakes at today's five-day stage.

"The horse is in good form, but will instead be aimed at an Autumn campaign with his favoured ground conditions." Los Angeles was confirmed at the five-day stage but looks likely to take his place in the Irish Champion Stakes on the same day before a tilt at the Arc in October. If, as expected, he is not declared then expect the odds to shorten further, especially for Owen Burrows' Deira Mile.

The Derby fourth was identified as a St Leger type after his staying-on run in the Epsom feature. O'Brien is also set to saddle outsiders The Equator and Euphoric, who could set the pace for the big three. Charlie Johnston will look to cause a shock with three-time winner this season Align The Stars, who was last seen finishing eighth of nine in the Lonsdale Cup.

While Andrew Balding's Wild Waves could also line up having gone down narrowly at York last time out.
