RACING/St Leger preview: Today is a day to forget all about the murky allegations that have dragged the sport through the gutter in recent weeks and instead relish what promises to be an epic afternoon's racing.

It is open to argument which is the highlight - the St Leger, the final Classic of the year, or the Irish Champion Stakes.

The betfair.com-sponsored Leger is off first and the Doncaster showpiece can go the way of Rule Of Law, who represents the Godolphin outfit, goes on any ground and has had a trouble-free preparation.

The son of Kingmambo has done little wrong this term, running a fine race behind North Light in the Dante at York before filling the same runner-up spot behind Michael Stoute's colt in the Derby.

He had to settle for fourth in the Irish equivalent, but that was no disgrace and he confirmed he was still going the right way with a smooth all-the-way success in the Great Voltigeur back at York last month.

He has a slight stamina doubt, but Sheikh Mohammed's operation are in terrific form at the moment and know exactly what is required to win this race.

Tycoon is potentially a serious danger and he could well have been favourite had he not run a shocker in the Juddmonte International.

That was not a true reflection of his ability and a return to the sort of form which saw him pip Rule Of Law for third at the Curragh before finishing an unlucky-in-running sixth in the King George would see him go close.

Best bet on the supporting card looks to be Sumora in the Polypipe Flying Childers Stakes. Gerard Butler's filly is progressing nicely and is unbeaten in two starts.

The daughter of Danehill has bags of speed and was very impressive when a smooth winner in Listed company at Newbury last month.

Bonecrusher has been a bit unlucky this season but has several times suggested there is a decent race to be won with him off his current mark and he could be the answer to the ladbrokes.com Handicap this afternoon.
