One of the best day's racing in the whole year with the St Leger at Doncaster and the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown taking centre stage. Here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.

Hiya Maite has shown some progressive form in sprint handicaps this season and that includes a win over 5f at this track back in June. He ran a fine race last time out at Thirsk over 6f where he tried to make most of the running only to be caught late on and lose by a neck. Dropping back down to 5 1/2f should suit him much better and now back on good ground he looks a horse that could put his best foot forward. Drawn in stall 19 his jockey may well be able to grab the stands side rails and blast out and make all of the running. Hiya Maite rates a 4 star each way Pick.
