      Verdict

      In receipt of a couple of pounds from his rivals Highest is given the value call over Bandari and Millenary. Formerly with Sir Michael Stoute the four-year-old Selkirk colt settled for minor honours in Group races at York and Doncaster. A Group 3 winner in Dubai earlier this season his run behind Sulamani at Nad Al Sheba is best forgotten and he can return to winning ways here. Bandari although top-class and genuine is a nervy sort who does not always run to his potential. If he runs up to his best he should go close though at these weights he is held by the selection on their run at York last season. Millenary finished second in this race last season and has some very useful performances under his belt. He struggled towards the back end of last season as though something was amiss and maybe best avoided here at his likely short price.
