Irish Derby one-two Capri and Cracksman could renew rivalries in the Betway Great Voltigeur Stakes at York on Wednesday.

Both colts are among 17 remaining possibles for the traditional St Leger trial. However, while Capri heads the ante-post market for the season's final Classic at Doncaster next month, Cracksman is not even entered, with John Gosden already having one eye on next year.

Capri is one of seven left in by Aidan O'Brien, with Spanish Steps and Venice Beach also among the potential Ballydoyle representatives.

Roger Charlton's Royal Ascot winner Atty Persse, Andrew Balding's Count Octave and Brian Meehan's Raheen House are still in the mix.
