Verdict
Sir Michael Stoute has his team in tremendous order at present and Highest can make the most of a straight forward opportunity. The well bred son of Selkirk has come up against smart opposition in both starts to date including a highly promising runner-up behind subsequent Pattern heroine Music Club on sole outing as a juvenile. Not seen to best effect at Chester behind Oaks-bound Fragrant View on his return he should prove hard to beat in this company on a more conventional track. Tioman has a race of this nature in him judged on his debut effort when facing a stiff task behind Al Moulatham while Champion Lion is capable of further progress and may do best of the remainder.
