Verdict
Highland Shot has progressed with experience this term to land three handicaps and showed a most willing attitude to defeat a useful yardstick last time at Salisbury. The extra furlong will suit and the daughter of Selkirk has proved herself with give so gets the TEAMtalk vote. Kasamba should not be far away judged on recent efforts including on soft ground while Spritzeria continues to hold her form and is another danger.
