Verdict
Highland Games can take this at the expense of Kahyasi Princess. The former Sir Michael Stoute inmate is still unexposed and with Kevin Darley likely to have had the chance of taking the mount aboard Mark Johnston's charge we shall take the jockey booking as a major hint. Kahyasi Princess made the transition from claiming class performer to handicapper during his three-year-old career and has won up to distances of two miles. Autumn Fantasy is desperately out of form while Toni Alcala and Compton Eclaire will have to produce career best efforts to land this prize. Highland Games is our pick.
