Semeen scored on his reappearance last season and won three of his four races in a light campaign. He's been raised 7lb but should win more races this season. Samantha Bell gets on well with Bayan Kasirga and was on board for his last two victories. He missed the break on his comeback and will strip fitter this time. RED RUNAWAY was receiving 3lb from Van Percy when beating him narrowly at Chester last May. Both arrive in winning form and the winner is 6lb better off so should confirm the form and take this. Dark Ruler stayed on strongly on his first start over this trip at Thirsk and can reach the frame while Vital Evidence will have had the cobwebs blow away at Kempton and if the ground turned soft would have a big chance.
