SNOW SKY can make it two Ladbrokes St Leger wins in seven years for Sir Michael Stoute by claiming Classic glory Doncaster.

Stoute appeared destined to never win the race as the one-mile-six-furlong feature continually eluded him during his lengthy career, only for Conduit to finally bag the prize in 2008.

The Freemason Lodge handler has had just one runner in the race since that memorable victory, but he has two arrows to fire in Snow Sky and Kings Fete this term.

The latter has no obvious claims on the book, but Snow Sky's second place in the Great Voltigeur combined with his Gordon Stakes win puts him right in the front rank.

Prevented from running in the Derby by a last-minute setback, Snow Sky flopped at Royal Ascot before proving that run to be all wrong at Goodwood, when hanging on by a neck from the reopposing Windshear after seemingly idling after being in front a bit too long.

He looked good value for the margin that day and lost little in defeat when behind Postponed at York, with the winner looking a potentially class act over middle distances next term.

Snow Sky pulled eight lengths clear of Odeon in the Voltigeur, keeping on up the straight which offers plenty of hope for him getting this longer trip.

The Nayef colt will certainly not be sighted early, but if James Doyle can weave his way through the field, Snow Sky has all the credentials to suggest he will be troubling the judge in the final Classic of the season.

Intrinsic disappointed at Listed level last time, but the Ladbrokes Portland Handicap offers him an good chance to get back on track.

An impressive winner of the Stewards' Cup, he never looked like taking a hand in the finish at Newmarket, although the form is none too shabby as both Reckless Abandon and Naadirr have come out and since run well.

Switching back in company should help and a 6lb rise might not be enough to stop him.
