Kieren Fallon has chosen Luca Cumani's newcomer Semmsu ahead of stablemate Kambis while Press Office, closely related to a decent winner in the States, is another debutant that catches the eye. Newbury third Warneford looks to be improving and there will be plenty of interest in Frankie Dettori's mount Hunter's Light, who was runner-up at Kempton on his only start and has a middle-distance pedigree. But it will be a surprise if MAQARAAT doesn't open his account today. Barry Hills' colt finished runner-up to Glen's Diamond in the Group 3 Dee Stakes at Chester three weeks ago and should have no trouble winning a maiden on that form.
