No Chapparal at Doncaster

Dual Derby winner High Chaparral is the most notable absentee from a list of 46 horses unveiled today for the 226th renewal of the Rothmans Royals St Leger.

But trainer Aidan O’Brien, successful last year with Milan, still has a strong hand with eight possibles, headed by Budweiser Irish Derby and Coral Eurobet Eclipse runner-up Sholokhov.
