      Verdict

      HIGHLAND KNIGHT won this in 2012 and has been performing with credit in Group company. His last success came in a Newmarket Group Three in October and this looks should be within his capabilities. Custom Cut had been very consistent before a battling victory over Baltic Knight at Windsor though that was on ground with some give. Artigiano has yet to recapture his excellent juvenile form and may find the ground too quick so a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of The Rectifier, who was only just behind the selection in the Group Two Summer Stakes at Ascot last time. Irish raider Elleval, a winner at Meydan in February, looks best of the remainder.
