      Verdict

      Luca Cumani's runners are better for the outing more often that not, but SEMEEN is worth the risk in this company. He's only 3lb higher than when scoring at Newmarket in August and we may not have seen the best of him yet. Perfect Cracker is getting no closer despite slipping down the weights but Cashpoint is better than he showed on his return at Pontefract last month. Laser Blazer usually runs his race but remains hard to win with and the same can be said of both Tenessee and Spirit of Xaar. Ssafa, last of four at Bath on Wednesday, can race off a lower mark than when scoring on the Polytrack under Paul Hanagan last month and Grand Theft Equine may be capable of better on only his second start on Turf.
