        Verdict

        State Crown only beat one home on his debut last year while Boss Power has disappointed in his two runs to date. Fly Falcon won at Wolverhampton in October, however, and this longer trip should suit the Hannon colt. SEMSER started favourite on his introduction at Kempton but showed his inexperience when asked to quicken. He was staying on in the closing stages and is another who will relish the extra yardage. Wild Boy will almost certainly improve on his first run with the filly Sheila also capable of better.
