In depth
Verdict
Ayr Of Elegance is the form horse but her stamina will have to be taken on trust. Misscarlett has shown little this year so this can go to TOPKAPI STAR, who was an early faller last time but hadn’t been disgraced here earlier in better races than this. Ten Gs has been well beaten in all of her races under Rules so far.
