15:35 Doncaster

The St Leger is always a race I love to get stuck into and the value this year looks to be obvious in DESERT HERO at 5/1. This Sea The Stars colt is improving all the time and he backed up his tenacious King George V Stakes win with a stylish victory in the Gordon Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last month.

Again he stayed on strongly in the closing stages and always looked to be getting to Chesspiece who had no more to offer late. I expect him to relish this trip and I don't know why he isn't shorter in the betting. Gregory would be a big danger if the ground dries out as despite Frankie jumping ship his form is decent and he was coming back again at the finish at York.

He should love this trip as well and run well. Middle Earth impressed winning the Melrose and if keeping calm in the prelims is another one to consider.
