Scandinavia and Lambourn lead 26 St Leger hopefuls
Justify colt Scandinavia has been a relatively late bloomer, finishing fifth to Carmers in the Queen's Vase at Ascot before winning the Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket.
He stepped into open company at Goodwood last week and despite being overlooked by Ryan Moore in favour of Illinois, ran out the winner.
His dual Derby-winning stablemate Lambourn would be another huge player if he turns up, as would Whirl, winner of last week's Nassau Stakes over 10 furlongs at Goodwood.
Galveston, Oaks victor Minnie Hauk, Mount Kilimanjaro, Puppet Master, Saratoga, Shackleton, Stay True and Thrice are other Ballydoyle possibles.
Carmers could have a trip to Yorkshire before his big day, with Paddy Twomey considering the Great Voltigeur Stakes for his prep – or he could stay closer to home.
'if he runs (beforehand) it will be either in the Great Voltigeur or the Vinnie Roe (at Leopardstown) and then the Leger,' said Twomey.
'Those two races are within a day of each other so we'll see which race looks more suitable.'
Other notable entries include Charlie Johnston's Lazy Griff, placed in the Derby at Epsom and the Irish equivalent, Tennessee Stud and Arabian Force.
Gordon Stakes victor Merchant was not entered by William Haggas.

White Sox continue trend, add ex-Brewer Bryan Hudson
August 5 - The Chicago White Sox announced Tuesday that left-handed reliever Bryan Hudson has been recalled from Triple-A Charlotte -- two days after the White Sox picked up Hudson off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. To make room for the 28-year-old Hudson, the White Sox sent right-handed reliever Owen White back to Charlotte. The team also returned rookie first baseman Tim Elko (knee) from his rehab stint at Charlotte, removed him from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Charlotte. The White Sox's acquisition of Hudson, who posted an 0-1 record with a 4.35 ERA, 13 strikeouts and 12 walks over 10 1/3 innings with the Brewers this season, continued a season-long trend. During MLB's Rule 5 draft in the offseason, the White Sox used the first pick to take unprotected Brewers prospect Shane Smith - who made the Opening Day roster and became the team's lone All-Star. On May 15, the White Sox grabbed infielder Vinny Capra off waivers from the Brewers. On June 8, the White Sox signed left-hander Tyler Alexander to a free-agent contract after he had been designated for assignment by the Brewers. Five days later, the Sox swapped first baseman Andrew Vaughn to the Brewers for right-handed starter Aaron Civale. On Sunday, in addition to adding Hudson off waivers, the White Sox plucked right-handed reliever Edgar Peguero off waivers from the Brewers. Peguero was sent to Charlotte. --Field Level Media
