Verdict

Rebecca Curtis' pair Highway Storm and Kit Casey need to do better but Cucklington appears to be improving with experience and Red Red Rover led for a long way at Exeter last month. SEMPER INVICTA is likely to be a short price but his debut sixth behind Western Cape at Ascot looks form that is head and shoulders above that of today's opposition and he should open his account.
