Racing Post verdict
Third-partyTopaz showed genuine ability when a neck second on her opening start before being pitched into much tougher company in a Group 3 at Ascot, where she was beaten 10 lengths but not without credit given the level of opposition; back against a more suitable field, she has the profile to make a significant step forward. Royal Message created a strong impression on debut in form that has been upheld by rivals since and rates the chief danger, while Avalon Queen is also of interest after catching the eye here on her first outing. Topaz is the selection.
Racing Post pick: Topaz
