      Verdict

      NAHRAIN won on her racecourse debut at Windsor last month and that form looks at least the equal of anything today's rivals have produced so far. With improvement expected, Roger Varian's filly can follow up in this company. Secret Love will have come on for her reappearance in a Listed event and can do better dropping back in trip, but Tasfeya steps up a grade after finishing second at Pontefract last time. The latter's stablemate Top Care has only won at Southwell so far, while Buzz Law and Ventura Sands both disappointed off higher marks last time after winning on their penultimate starts.
