        Verdict

        The trio for the shortlist are IMPRIMIS TAGULA, Seek The Fair Land and Sunshine Always with the vote given to the first mentioned. Imprimis Tagula defied a career-high mark to score at Lingfield last week and in his current rich vein of form it should pay to stick with him. He has a fair draw and he should make a bold bid to defy another 6lbs penalty. Seek The Fair Land won over this course and distance back in April and he also got his head in front earlier this month when he beat Rondeau at Lingfield. He has more on his plate here but both his previous wins came in consecutive races so he is certainly one to give serious consideration to. Sunshine Always has run some sound races here in the past but off his current mark others make more appeal. Perfect Act missed the break here last month so that disappointing run can be forgiven, and we will return to Imprimis Tagula as the pick.
