In depth
Verdict
ZAHR ALYASMEEN is the one with scope here though potential punters will be aware she's having her first start since a couple of fair runs in mid-summer maidens and has never raced on the surface. Kanes Pass didn't do much wrong on her return from a long break when, after attempting to make all over 6f last week she was passed inside the final furlong. Roja Dove, who was 3l behind on her debut, is likely to get closer over this extra furlong and Nara Datta hinted at ability in strong nursery company last term.
