      Verdict

      Come Hither and Kashmiri Star both carry penalties for recent victories in a lower grade but the former is still quite lightly raced and could have further improvement in him. Marinus has put together a consistent sequence and won't go down without a fight while For Shia And Lula ran his best race for a while when put back over 6f at Newmarket and has dropped to a fair mark. CYNTHIA CALHOUN may also be best at this trip and is still unexposed on Turf. Clive Cox' filly gets a tentative vote to open her account as this looks a little less competitive than recent runs on the Polytrack.
