      Verdict

      NASEEM ALYASMEEN carries a penalty for her recent win at Folkestone but won by three lengths and can go in again with her yard in such good form. Nicholascopernicus has found just one too good on both starts this term and could go close stepping up in trip while April's Nottingham winner Dorry K is another who may appreciate the extra distance. Rosie's Lady has been thereabouts in lesser company of late but Arley Hall could prove a bigger threat after a close-up fourth at Leicester last time.
