      Verdict

      A winner at Epsom last time, Cameron Highland won last year's renewal in soft ground but didn't have to face the likes of SHIROCCO STAR. The latter perhaps doesn't win as often as she should but Hughie Morrison's filly is a cut above these at her best and a repeat of her latest narrow-margin defeat in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes would be good enough. Gallipot and Souviens Toi are of similar ability but always vulnerable to genuine Group-class performers types like the selection while the handicapper Saint Hilary is easily dismissed at this level.
