Chairman¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: M Meade| OR: 90| BF| D

9/4

Promising son of Almanzor who landed a small-field Salisbury maiden (12f) early on last month and followd up at Bath next time. Shaped as if still in top form at Sandown last time, so very much respected.

Form: 22116

Post Impressionist³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S Donohoe| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89| BF

5/6

Powered away to open his account at Ayr in April then bumped into an excellent prospect at Newcastle on penultimate outing. Underperformed at Royal Ascot but firmly expected to get back on track.

Form: 2120

John The Baptist²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 87

18/1

2yo winner (at the Curragh) who hasn't kicked on this year, looking rusty on debut for Mick Appleby at this course 3 weeks ago. Others preferred.

Form: 18-806

(4)

Sheer Rocks¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 84| BF

8/1

Won both of his outings at 2 and has run at least respectably on each of his 3 runs this year. Dropped 2 lb since latest run and Harry Davies takes a further 5 off, so he's not discounted back up in trip.

Form: 11-853

(5)

Highland Premiere⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80

10/1

Three-time winner last season and arrives in form, runner-up at York (had the run of the race) 8 days ago. Others look better treated and he's unlikely to get his own way.

Form: 315-642

Forecasts

Post Impressionist (5/6), Chairman (9/4), Typical Woman (9/2), Sheer Rocks (8/1), Highland Premiere (10/1), John The Baptist (18/1)

POST IMPRESSIONIST didn't quite come up to expectations at Royal Ascot but the form of his previous outing has proved to be strong form and he's well worth another chance to show himself well handicapped. Chairman is also respected.
