      Verdict

      High Pitched was a highly progressive performer last season and showed when an impressive seven-length winner over this course and distance in May that he has a race of this nature within his compass. He found the ground at Royal Ascot too firm but should cope with the watered surface on this occasion. Mubtaker ran well when narrowly denied in the Princess Of Wales at Newmarket and has claims if repeating the form but has yet to prove himself over this trip so looks opposable and the percentage call goes to High Pitched.
