      Verdict

      Top Score and Masham Star ran in the same Group 3 in Turkey last month. The former fared best and was almost three lengths ahead of Mark Johnston's colt at the line, though the latter is now 8lb better off. The form is nothing special, however, and WHATSTHEMESSAGE could beat both as he ran a fine race at Ayr on his handicap debut and drops back to his winning distance today. In First Place and Sir Viktor look thoroughly exposed but are fairly consistent and shouldn't be far away.
