Maybe Sir Ron Priestley, twice a winner at Goodwood in August, can fill that CV

"We know what Logician and the others are bringing to the table, but we also know what we're bringing to the table and, most importantly, if there's any chinks in their armour Sir Ron will find them because he's tough and he's brave.

"The three in front of him in the betting, are they really that bombproof? I'm very positive and I'll be giving my horse all the positive vibes."

With Norton being the most senior flat jockey - just ahead of Frankie Dettori - and having ridden his first winner in May 1989 before many of his rivals were born, a success at this level would be widely acclaimed.

While admitting it would be a "great story", he insists he's philosophical about what may or may not happen.

"If Franny Norton ends his racing career, and he didn't ride a Group One winner, will I lose any sleep? No I won't," he said.

"If Franny Norton wins a Group One race or a Classic, does it make it any better? No it doesn't. Will it put my career up further? No, because I'll be finished in a few years anyway.

"But you're right it would be a good story - people love a rollercoaster, and that's what I've had - so, yes it would be great."

Up to eight runners are due to line up in the St Leger, first staged four years before the Epsom Derby in 1776
