      Verdict

      Timepiece, winner of the Falmouth Stakes here last year, comes out best on official ratings but soft ground can be a great leveller and, while Sir Henry Cecil's mare has won on good to soft, she's never encountered conditions this testing before. IZZI TOP has, running out a brave winner at Saint-Cloud in October, and last year's Oaks third, who goes well fresh, can concede weight all round on her return to action. Captivator beat Law Of The Range on her reappearance in a Listed race on the Polytrack but has more on her plate here, while Khawlah hasn't been seen since notching a double on Tapeta at Meydan early last year though has won over a mile here on turf. Primevere is also useful but may just need the run today.
