Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Semper Femina
Semper Femina merits respect despite sitting a few pounds below the top of the ratings, as her progressive profile suggests she is still on an upward curve that those figures may not fully capture. Crooked Path heads the ratings on 77 but Semper Femina's fitness edge could prove decisive over this twelve-furlong Kempton trip on a standard-to-slow surface that rewards horses in peak condition. Solanna and Naasma, both rated 76, represent the chief secondary dangers and cannot be dismissed in an open eleven-runner field. **Semper Femina** is our selection.
