Gosden targets fifth victory

LOGICIAN can maintain his unbeaten record by providing John Gosden with a fifth victory in the William Hill St Leger at Doncaster.

Logician brings flawless credential­s to the Classic, having won all four of his races to date.

SHINE SO BRIGHT showed a very willing attitude when holding off the top-class filly Laurens at York, and a reproducti­on of that effort will make him the one to beat in the Hird Rail Group Park Hill Stakes.

Leading course trainer Mark Johnston is double-handed in the £40,000 feature race at Musselburg­h.
