Verdict
Philipine Cobra defied a penalty to win at York last week but has been raised a further 7lb. SEMOUM (NAP) is preferred, despite a 5lb rise for winning at Hamilton, as that was his first start after wind surgery and there looks more to come from him. Street Parade struggled in Listed company at Sandown a week ago but won nicely at Windsor before that while Wedding Date has failed to figure since scoring at York ahead of Alfie Solomons and the latter may well reverse running. Chapelli remains out of form and Fen Breeze makes her handicap debut.
