16/1

Rattled off a 4-timer to end last season, culminating in Group 1 Canadian International 12 months ago. Hard to knock consistency at Group/listed level in recent months and fancied to give his running.

18/1

Proved himself at least as good as ever when bagging valuable Haydock handicap (14f) 2 starts back. Similar form when fourth in a 10f listed event at Ayr but expected to come up short here.

1/3

Highly-progressive colt in 2019, winning all 5 starts, culminating in St Leger in impressive fashion. Proved well-being in landing 2-runner Doncaster event recently and expected to prove hard to beat.

Form: 11111-1

Highland Chief^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole| OR: 109

9/2

Smart form when defying top weight in a handicap at Royal Ascot. Best excused his effort in the Derby and hit the frame on 2 of his 3 subsequent outings at Group level.

Form: 6-10225

Forecasts

Logician (1/3), Highland Chief (9/2), Desert Encounter (16/1), Euchen Glen (18/1)

An imposing son of Frankel, LOGICIAN was highly progressive as a 3-y-o, his season culminating in success in the St Leger at Doncaster. He proved his well-being with success in a match race back at that venue on return and he can maintain his unbeaten record back up in class with bigger targets lying in wait. Highland Chief may be the one for the forecast in receipt of weight all around.
