Formscan By John O'Riordan - SEMANTICS, who improved for the step up to this distance when a close fourth at Navan last week, may be able to defy topweight. On that occasion, the Ger Lyons trained filly only gave best close home, losing two places at the finish. If the blinkers can help bring about further improvement, the daughter of Broken Vow will be hard to beat. Evening's Empire was highly tried a couple of times last season after winning her maiden at Galway. Now back to a more realistic handicap mark, it would be no surprise to see the Kessaar filly improve on recent efforts. Miss Caruso was well beaten on her turf debut at Naas but maybe the testing ground was a factor. If anywhere near the level of form she showed at Dundalk over the winter, she would be a serious contender here.
