      Verdict

      Augustine gets the vote here with Tcherina and Resonate rated as the main dangers. The selection is a model of consistency and he is right on top of his game at present. He was a clear second behind Goodbye Mr Bond last time and with the in-form Robert Winston in the plate he looks to have an outstanding chance. Tcherina will go on the ground and ran to finish third behind Millville at York last time. A reproduction of that effort should ensure that he once again makes the frame. Resonate caught the eye with a powerful finish at Lingfield last time when he finished fifth behind Sir Haydn. However, he is not easy to win with and has not managed to get his head in front since 2004 so the percentage call is to take him on. Tannenberg is from a yard in form so could go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with Augustine.
