Verdict

HIGHEST SUN is on an appealing mark and has shaped as if back in top form, just stretched by the trip when fourth at Haydock a couple of months ago, so he boasts excellent claims of scoring back over 3m here. There's plenty of in-form opposition, however, and the likes of Eclair Surf and Eclair de Guye should ensure it's not all plain sailing for the selection.
