    Verdict

    In an interesting four-runner affair, Resplendent Alpha is selected ahead of Cesc. Cesc's winning run came to an end here last time but that came in a Listed race that the winner stole. He has to be considered in what could be a tactical affair. Resplendent Alpha is the highest rated of these though and, with a sharpener for the season under hs belt, he looks the one to beat. His juvenile form was solid enough in Listed class. It looks as though Majuro's form - he ended last season by winning a class 4 event - is the stronger of the Mick Channon pair and, with the stable having started the season pretty well, he is not ruled out but the vote goes to Resplendent Alpha.
