      Verdict

      James Park Woods found only one too good over track and trip recently and can race off the same mark while Eula Varner finished runner-up over 7f at Leicester last time. Top Mission ran well enough without threatening in a more competitive race at Ascot and can figure but ALNASEEM is just preferred. The latter makes her handicap debut after going close over 7f here a fortnight ago and with this extra distance expected to suit and Oisin Murphy taking over the reins, she gets the vote. Liliofthelamplight has only won on the all-weather so far and the same goes for Harbour Vision.
