THERE were no major surprises within the 11-strong Ladbrokes St Leger line-up revealed at Monday's confirmation stage, when Godolphin pacemaker Rumh was supplemented for the race at cost to connections of £45,000.

 The addition of Rumh leaves Godolphin triple handed for the 1m6f race, with second favourite Blue Bunting andoutsider Genius Beast also due to head to Doncaster. Kieren Fallon has been revealed as the rider of the Tom Dascombe-trained Brown Panther, 10-1 for Saturday's Classic. Terry Norman, Fallon's agent, tweeted: "Kieren has been booked by Tom Dascombe for Brown Panther in the St Leger. Delighted."

 Wonder Of Wonders, 33-1 for the St Leger with Ladbrokes, remains in the race, although trainer Aidan O'Brien said on Sunday the Oaks second was unlikely to run. The Ballydoyle trainer revealed he prefers the Prix de l'Opera for the filly.

Namibian, undergoing treatment for colic, left the race along with Apache, Whiplash Willie, Thimaar, Dordogne, Regent Street and Well Sharp.

In updated betting, Ladbrokes have Sea Moon as their 11-8 favourite, Blue Bunting 4-1, and Census 5-1.
