St Leger Betting
Despite putting his faith in a 7/1 chance for the race, Illinois remains a worthy favourite according to oddschecker tipster Architect.
The son of Galileo has three wins and five placed efforts from eight career outings. Having finished second to Ambiente Friendly in the Derby Trial, he showed all his resilience and stamina qualities to see off his rivals in the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot.
He then finished an honourable second in the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris Stakes before filling the same spot when only a neck behind Los Angeles in the Greatwood Hurdle Voltigeur.
The return to this longer trip will be more in his bag, and being unexposed over staying trips, he will be hard to beat. Likely to be the choice of Ryan Moore.

His likeliest challenger according to the latest betting is Jan Brueghel (4/1), another leading contender for the Ballydoyle assault.
He missed all of last season, but he’s unbeaten in three starts this campaign. While he doesn’t do anything flashy, he knows where the winning line is and this course plays to his strengths.
He showed great battling attributes to see off three rivals in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood when last spotted. While this race will be more difficult, he’s open to a lot more improvement and will keep galloping. An intriguing candidate for a yard seeking an eighth win in the contest.
