The Italian has an outstanding record in the St Leger having won it four times and his patient approach will be ideal for Conduit, who is best when coming with a long, late run.
The Classic has proved a profitable ally to punters with 10 of the last 14 favourites obliging and Aidan O'Brien will be hoping Frozen Fire can maintain the sequence.
But the Irish Derby winner has not run since his Curragh triumph in June and that is a worry.
Ralph Beckett's Look Here bids to emulate User Friendly, the last filly to complete the Oaks and St Leger double, though a recent training setback doesn't inspire confidence.
Unsung Heroine is the only other filly in the race but is up against it to maintain her unbeaten record.
So Conduit can finally break Stoute's St Leger hoodoo and land the only British Classic to elude him in his long and illustrious career.
