Semser will be sharper for last month’s return from a lay-off but Australian Harbour and Cabrakan will need to step up on recent efforts to figure. They Don't Know and Mille Miglia have something to prove over this far as does the returning ANATOMIC though the latter has more scope for improvement. A winner over 7f last year, Sir Mark Prescott’s grey has been gelded since and this doesn’t look a strong race.
