Verdict
A very tricky way to round off the card and it not a race to employ a maximum stakes approach with. However, the has to be more to come from Sempergreen and the daughter of Hector Protector is taken to get off the mark in this her belated seasonal reappearance. Lord Telemuchin and Bluestone appeal most out of those with previous experience - whereas mover for either Salon Prive or Mr Boz will be interesting. But Sempergreen ran with a lot of promise in the maiden that produced Speed Cop, and Pearl Dance last season and she can be expected to be a much different proposition this time around. She is bred to make an impact at anything between six furlongs and a mile, but should find this easy seven a good starting point for now. The draw has also been kind to the selection and she is confidently expected to move out of maiden company after today.
