Big-race sponsors Ladbrokes have pledged to put everything into making it a day to remember should Camelot go for the Triple Crown by running in the St Leger at Doncaster on September 15.
The 'Magic Sign' have seen the world's oldest Classic enjoy something of a renaissance since they took over sponsorship in 2005 and the icing on the cake would be for Camelot to attempt to become only the 16th horse in history to add the race to victories in the 2000 Guineas and Derby.

Henrietta Knight failed to end her hugely successful career on a high when her final two runners were well beaten at Fontwell.
The West Lockinge trainer, who won a hat-trick of Cheltenham Gold Cups with the great Best Mate, was out of luck with My Friend Riquet and Seventh Hussar, both ridden by Dominic Elsworth.
My Friend Riquet was 11th of 12th behind Romeo Americo in the Flowers Unlimited - Fontwell Park's Recommended Florist Maiden Hurdle, while Seventh Hussar was last to finish as Blue Hills took the Hope for Hearing, Evie's Race Handicap Chase.
