        Verdict

        In the nursery, Aaim To Prosper is nominated ahead of Brainy Benny and Rose Of Petra. Aaim To Prosper has shown decent form in winning his maiden and then finishing second in a Conditions race at Bath. His mark looks fair and he can go well today. Brainy Benny's third to Ladies Best at Newmarket last time marked him down as an improver and he is respected, while it was no surprise that Hanging On failed to make the step up to Group company last time but the Newmarket maiden winner might fare better at this level. Rose Of Petra won her maiden well enough last time and, being sure to appreciate today's longer trip, can go well, while Monachello has shown enough to be given some thought. Overall, though, the selection is Aaim To Prosper.
