2026 St Leger Entries
The Epsom Derby form is well-represented in the early betting for the final Classic of the season. Epsom winner Christmas Day tops the betting. Maltese Cross finished second at Epsom, and looks set to head to Doncaster on the back of a Group One victory in the Grand Prix de Paris.
Pierre Bonnard could only finish seventh at Epsom, and was beaten two lengths behind Benvenuto Cellini and Christmas Day in the Irish Derby. Benvenuto Cellini has also been entered in the St Leger, but seems more likely to head to France for an Arc trial instead. Prix du Jockey Club third Montreal is another possible runner for Aidan O'Brien, along with Causeway, Port Of Spain and Action.
Enceladus maintained his unbeaten seasonal record in the Gordon Stakes, and Joseph O'Brien's Glorious Goodwood winner seems likely to take his chance at Doncaster. Point Of Law could step up in distance following a narrow victory in the Bahrain Trophy. Ancient Egypt could also move up in trip after narrow defeats at Ascot and Longchamp. Bahrain Trophy runner-up Galiyan looks likely to represent Andrew Balding.
Queen's Vase scorer Limestone is another possible runner for Joseph O'Brien. Superior Choice could face the likes of Christmas Day and Maltese Cross in the Great Voltigeur Stakes at York. Infraad and Hatteen could renew rivalries after their clash at Glorious Goodwood. Other potential runners include Del Maro for Charlie Appleby, Emmet Mullins' recruit Zia Zabel, Richard Hannon's Derby fifth Alderman, and Amy Murphy's budding French stayer, Victoire Magique.
