    Verdict

    SEMSER ran his best race since joining Gary Moore when upped in trip at Wolverhampton. He may prove the one to side with over this extra test of stamina with today’s apprentice taking 7lb off his back. Lady Pendragon finished closer at Kempton recently having slipped back down the weights while Rakematiz went close over track and trip back in April but returns from an absence. The remainder are hard to recommend with Aradous perhaps best of them.
