In depth
Verdict
Semigold looks to have no easy task giving weight away all round, when all she has to her name is a maiden victory at Bath, while Man Eater wasn't disgraced in what looked a fair nursery at Newmarket. That form received a boost when the fourth in that event No Time went on to land a valuable race at York last week. However, the one to beat could be recent course and distance winner Dark Shah, who did well to win after missing the break and there should be plenty of improvement to come.
