David Egan, Declan McDonogh and Tim Easterby join our expert panel

Will Technician make an impact in the St Leger?

Kane Calvin, Redzone I can’t see it myself. He clearly did very well to wear down Morando in the Geoffrey Freer on Saturday, pulling well clear of the third, and it is a wide-open St Leger. But he would need to step up a fair bit on that level of form to win the Classic, and his price of 20-1 accurately reflects that.

Tim Easterby, trainer I don’t think so. He looks a lovely horse and I’m sure he’ll be a really good stayer, but I think one of Aidan O’Brien’s horses will win the St Leger – but I couldn’t tell you which one!

David Egan, jockey It wasn’t the strongest renewal of the Geoffrey Freer and the three-year-olds who have won it recently didn’t show up overly well in the Leger. But he’s pulled well clear with a solid soft-ground yardstick and clearly relished the test. The Great Voltigeur this week will give a better idea of the depth of the opposition, in particular how good Logician could be.
