    Verdict

    This looks tricky as Kassia and Summer Chorus both drop down a grade. The former will strip fitter for her run at Goodwood but the latter hasn't raced since when favourite at Lingfield in February and was also beaten by Pine Ridge in a maiden here in October. Clive Cox' daughter of Elusive City would have a chance if back on song while Cosmopolitan Girl showed improved form to get off the mark here 11 days ago and makes more appeal than Kestrel Call. EMERALD LOCH has a penalty for her win at Nottingham but has had just the four runs so should have more to offer and can double her tally.
