      Verdict

      A winner at Bath earlier, Chairman failed to cope with a 7lb rise last time and another chance goes to POST IMPRESSIONIST. The latter was progressing well before upped in trip and finding plenty of trouble in a heritage handicap at Ascot in June and will be more at home in this grade. Highland Premiere has a shout on last week’s second at York while Sheer Rocks is back up in distance after returning a losing favourite at Bath and is preferred to Typical Woman.
