Verdict

Lots with chances but GOD THE HIGHNESS signalled he is ready to strike when just touched off on his handicap debut at Sligo so edges the vote from Enziya, who should benefit from stepping up in trip and rates a big danger. Amavasya, Trubshaw and Echinacea all need factoring into this competitive event too.
