In depth
Verdict
Only a neck separated Nations Alexander and Mia Cara when both made their debuts behind Nasimi on easier going here last month but Richard Hannon's filly is expected to come out on top again and make a bold bid to go one better. Kodicat's third at Newcastle looks a similar level of form and she might be more at home over this extra furlong but FAIR EVA will be fancied to continue Frankel's impressive start to his career at stud as she's out of a smart sprinter and market support should be heeded. Miss Infinity and Hazy Manor may also be nice prospects.
