TOPAZ ran a cracker first time up when going down narrowly at Newmarket and with her subsequent Albany effort easy to put a line through, Jack Channon's filly is fancied to make it third time lucky at the expense of Avalon Queen, who has a smart pedigree and shaped with plenty of encouragement on debut here last month. Of the newcomers, Marsala, Art of Life and Nuit d'Eclair make most appeal before the benefit of market clues.
