    Verdict

    Just the five runners and HIGHLAND GLEN will be short odds to dispose of Club Tahiti and Classic Vintage. The Montjeu gelding has won two races this term - latterly accounting for the smart Ottoman Empire on Kempton's polytrack. There looks plenty more to come. Club Tahiti was third to the progressive Alsace Lorraine at Goodwood. Connections thought enough of her to aim at listed races earlier in the season. Classic Vintage was fourth at Goodwood in the March Stakes. The handicapper has made life particularly hard for him off this mark. Clerk's Choice takes a step up in grade though was held at Yarmouth. Souter Point has no issues in relation to the trip but has found winning a difficult proposition in the past. Highland Glen is far from bombproof as selections go but he looks the most open to progression.
