        Verdict

        It is strange to see Nigel Twiston-Davies with a runner at Lingfield but his entry Resonance has strong claims here and is taken to beat Crown Agent and Elegant Gracie. Formally with Amanda Perrett, Resonance has shown plenty of ability in all three outings here at Lingfield, the most recent being an excellent third behind John Gosden's Keep On Movin back in November. Today's opposition doesn't appear to be as strong so it could be a very good opportunity for Nigel to have a rare winner on the flat. Crown Agent displayed plenty of talent on the turf last summer and if fit after a long break should be in the shake up. Elegant Gracie boasts the best recent course and distance form having chased home So Vital at the end of last month and looks certain to be thereabouts, however there is no getting away from the chance of Resonance who is our confident choice.
