Ouch...breaking news!

Ante-post favourite Age Of Aquarius is a shock absentee from the final field of eight for Saturday's Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster.

Aidan O'Brien's charge had been the 9-4 market leader with Stan James for the final Classic of the season but has been withdrawn, along with stablemate Rockhampton.

That leaves just eight to go to post, with Godolphin's Kite Wood now a likely favourite.
