      Verdict

      HIGHEST boasts the highest official rating and the best form but her price will reflect the fact. John Gosden's filly returned to action with a decent second over 1m2f at Newbury earlier this month and this race looks hers for the taking. Malacca Straits wasn't disgraced in three starts over 7f last season so this big step up in trip on her reappearance is something of a surprise, but bumper winner Chapter Five may need an even longer distance judged on his seven-length defeat over C&D last time. Donna Elvira has lots to find and it will be a surprise if the newcomer Body Language is good enough.
