In depth
Verdict
Highland Shot had nothing to spare when a narrow winner at Windsor in May (now 3lb higher) but is lightly raced and will appreciate the cut in the ground. Vrubel gained due reward for a string of consistent efforts when landing an amateurs event at Goodwood last time and is just 3lb higher while Greenaway Bay is sliding down the weights and should go close. La Fantasme and Lucky Archer are others worthy of consideration in an open heat.
