Topkamp looks the part here over Topkamp, with Grey Pearl and Tentative the main dangers. Topkamp has been keeping good company this season and now looks ready to strike. Michael Bell's filly was good enough to capture a Listed race at Haydock last term and will find this a piece of cake compared to her two previous outings this year. A two-length second to Lucky Strike in Group 3 company in Germany in May, she was not beaten far by Tim Easterby's Golden Nun in another Group 3 at Cork two weeks ago and has conditions in her favour. Fillies in foal often pay to follow as they bloom and Topkamp should skate home on the fast ground. Grey Pearl was not beaten too far when fourth to Wilhewiz here last time, and Tentative, who goes on the ground may see out the trip now that she has strengthened up. Anthos will probably need the run but should be noted as the season progresses, but on this occasion Topkamp should give Kieren Fallon another winner.
