RACING POST VERDICT

Kon Tiki tops our figures on 113, narrowly ahead of Touleen on 111, and arrives full of running having won two of her last five starts. Touleen, Arisaig and Sukanya make up the strongest opposition, each within a handful of pounds on our figures. Confidence is low in this tight Ascot contest, but Kon Tiki's rating edge makes her the selection.

Racing Post Pick
Kon Tiki
Our Expert Tip

The Form of TOULEEN stands out here, and if he replicates the form of his previous races I think he\'s going to be really tough to beat here.
