The ITV cameras head to Doncaster racecourse in again on Saturday for their third day of the 4-day St Leger Meeting and it's the 'big one' today as some of the best middle-distance 3 year-olds line up for the oldest of the five English Classics - the Betfred St Leger - a race trainers John Gosden and Aidan O'Brien have won 11 times between them in the last 23 years.

As always, we’ve got it all covered with all the TV race trends and stats – these should help narrow down the fields and also highlight the best profiles of horses that have done well in the races in the past.
