Racing Post verdict
Third-partyDark Issue tops our figures on 104 with Alta Regina close behind on 103, but we prefer Velozee, only three pounds back on 101, for a stronger overall profile and the sharpest speed figure in the race. Miss Kodi also commands respect after an eye-catching debut win. It's a competitive Class 1 sprint at Ascot with low confidence, but Velozee gets the vote on profile and speed over the bare figures.
Racing Post pick: Velozee
