Sean Levey bids for back-to-back St Legers after 'massive privilege' of getting call-up on Derby hero Lambourn

Sean Levey is relishing the chance of landing back-to-back successes in the Betfred St Leger after securing the ride on dual-Derby winner Lambourn for the final British Classic of the season. 

The 37-year-old benefited from a call-up by Aidan O'Brien last year when steering Jan Brueghel to victory at Doncaster and now has the opportunity to repeat the feat with this year's 9-4 second favourite, who will face six rivals on Saturday following Thursday's declarations. 

Levey was one of several jockeys to pick up rides in the absence of Ballydoyle's regular riders, with Ryan Moore on the sidelines after fracturing his femur and Wayne Lordan serving a ten-day ban incurred at Goodwood last month.
