Verdict

Toptempo finished behind Lyric Of Light on her debut and the latter has made giant strides since then and won the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket when SALFORD ART was fourth. David Elsworth's filly is clearly on the upgrade judged on that effort and she gets the vote. Letsgoroundagain wasn't disgraced in a Group 3 race at HQ last time and can race on favourable terms here against the likes of Mister Music and Cravat, while maiden winners Ptolemaic and Al Saham have a bit to prove stepping up in class. Stipulate was found wanting in Listed company last month but has plenty of scope for improvement.
