      Verdict

      KASHIMIN looks best served by the framing of this seller and after a couple of improved runs this term is given the vote with both San Silvestro and Finsbury in with chances with not much to find on these terms. King's Point should also figure in the shake-up with his yard holding a good record in these races this term but the selection ran well in defeat at Redcar on his return from over 200 days away from racing before stepping up on that to go even closer last time. This step back up in trip looks the right move so a big run is expected. San Silvestro went close a couple of times in handicaps off a mark of 65 before a very poor effort at Ayr. That looked too bad to be true so he may bounce back. Finsbury was held just over a length off his current handicap rating the last time we saw him and both Applaude and Red Skipper come into this off the back of winning performances. It's a competitive seller where Kashimin is the best treated.
