    Verdict

    Connections of Cassirer seem to be struggling to find a trip for him and he may not represent much value for adding to his sole victory so far here - despite having the ground in his favour. the shortlist of opponents includes Sky Dome, tarboush and Marnie, who is very capable of holding his own at this level. However, Cote Soleil has a good chance on these terms and in good form at present. He acts on most types of ground and appeals as a value selection against some very exposed rivals.
