    Verdict

    A real puzzler for the money with all three holding claims. Highest has the form on the board having finished second in the King George V Stakes here last month. He does tend to need cover in his races and with only three in the contest, he is not one to go a short price about. Zaajer was a little disappointing last time out but John Dunlop's yard are back in form so improvement can be expected. Epicentre had to work hard to land odds-on favouritism at Goodwood last time out and will need to improve in order to win here.
