Previous winners clash in Doncaster Cup and Stoute's Juddmonte juvenile - what to expect on day two of the St Leger festival

Trueshan and Coltrane, the last two winners of the Doncaster Cup (3.35), will bid for Group 2 glory again after both were declared for the day two feature of the St Leger festival on Friday.

The £140,000 contest, which has been renamed after Howard Wright, the founding news editor of the Racing Post who died last month aged 79, will see a field of six head to post.

The Alan King-trained Trueshan, who was last seen finishing fourth to Kyprios in the Goodwood Cup in July, won this race 12 months ago after going one better than his neck second to Andrew Balding's Coltrane the year before.

The Irish challenge will come from Aidan O'Brien and Point Lonsdale, while John and Thady Gosden are double handed with the Wathnan-owned Gregory and Sweet William. The Adam Nicol-trained Wise Eagle completes the field.

Round two for Big Mojo and Aesterius in Flying Childers 

A rematch between Big Mojo and Aesterius is on after both leading contenders were declared for the Flying Childers Stakes (3.00), the other Group 2 contest on Friday.

When the pair met first time round, in the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, it was Mick Appleby's Big Mojo who denied his Archie Watson-trained rival by three-quarters of a length.

However, since that meeting, Aesterius bounced back with a career-best effort when scoring in the Group 3 Prix d'Arenberg at Longchamp this month. His opponent had to settle for a fourth-placed finish in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York last month.

Irish raider Magnum Force, who is trained by Ger Lyons, splits the two rivals in the betting, with the son of Mehmas having won a Cork maiden in August before finishing a neck second to Tropical Storm, who also reopposes, in a Listed York event.

The Simon and Ed Crisford-trained Coto De Caza, who is on for a hat-trick, is also prominent in the market with a field of 12 declared for the £130,000 sprint.

Jonquil leading Flying Scotsman hope for Stoute

Sir Michael Stoute has been dominating the headlines this week after the announcement of his retirement at the end of the year, but the show goes on for now as Jonquil looks to follow up his debut success in the Listed Flying Scotsman Stakes (2.25).

A short-head scorer at Sandown last month, the two-year-old son of Lope De Vega holds leading claims for Stoute in the 7f contest as Ryan Moore's mount faces six opponents.

His chief rival comes in the form of Godolphin's Symbol Of Honour, who comfortably won a Lingfield maiden before finishing sixth in the Coventry Stakes when last seen.

Course-and-distance winner God Of War, Mr Chaplin, Benevento, The Waco Kid and Mukaber complete the field.
