Formscan - Aidan O'Brien seeks a hat-trick and ninth victory overall in this illustrious event and LAMBOURN could be the one to make it a reality. The dual Derby winner has shaped as if crying out for this extra distance and would have blown any cobwebs away with his fifth in the Great Voltigeur at York last month. The son of Australia has lots in his favour and will prove a tough nut to crack. His stable companion Scandinavia is the obvious danger after winning the Goodwood Cup and this progressive colt is likely to continue his upward trajectory. Carmers beat Furthur and Rahiebb in the Queen's Vase before an excellent second in the Voltigeur and he isn't ruled out either.

The following contenders are the current market leaders for this year’s St Leger Stakes:
Scandinavia - Aidan O'Brien's Scandinavia is in good form after winning at Newmarket at Goodwood in July, beating stablemate Illinois in the Goodwood Cup.
Lambourn - Another Ballydoyle horse, Lambourn disappointed at York but wis still heavily fancied after winning the Epsom and Irish derbies.
Ballydoyle have a typically strong hand for the final British Classic of this season, Scandinavia has hardened as favourite at the head of the ante-post markets having developed into a top class stayer over the Summer.
Elsewhere during the week, we have a tip for the Park Stakes at Doncaster.
Ten Bob Tony took his form for Ed Walker to a new level when winning his only start of the season back in May.
That career best came in a Group 3 at Haydock, getting the better of Kinross in second. That was his first start since a gelding operation and this lightly raced four-year-old may still have his best performances ahead of him.
He has since missed engagements at York and Goodwood on account of the ground and will be an unlikely runner if Firm is in the going description.
This absence will have done him no harm, he arrives fresh for the time of year and has produced his best performances after a break. Odds of 14/1 are fair in a race that may cut up.
