Highest Regard is from a yard starting to hit form, and this son of Mark Of Esteem can take this nursery from Ronnies Lad and Gogetter Girl. The selection showed improved form to chase home Our Kes over course and distance earlier this month. The third home is rated 71, so he does look to be on a very fair mark and will take all the beating here. Ronnies Lad unlike most of these, has managed to win a race. That victory came in a claimer at Newcastle in May and off today's weight he is entitled to go close. Gogetter Girl is a model of consistency and put up another tremendous performance when chasing home King After over course and distance last month, another bold showing can be expected. Top-weight Ladrucca and Hughie Morrison's tanning could prove best of the others, but Highest Regard looks the pick of the handicap and gets the vote
