Racing: Ante-post favourite Frozen Fire heads a list of 18 contenders for the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster on Saturday.

He is one of eight possible runners for Aidan O'Brien along with Alessandro Volta, Bashkirov, Hindu Kush, King Of Westphalia, New Zealand, Washington Irving and William Hogarth.

Sir Michael Stoute also has multiple entries with Conduit, Doctor Fremantle and Warringah standing their ground - but one-time favourite Patkai is an absentee.

Ralph Beckett's Look Here could make her first start since her Oaks triumph in June, while another filly, Unsung Heroine, is still in the mix for Tommy Stack.

Whistledownwind, Top Lock, Savarain, Enroller and 1000-1 chance Maidstone Mixture complete the confirmations.
