        Verdict

        Augustine gets a narrow decision in a wide open handicap, Cripsey Brook and Wulimaster could be the main dangers. The selection has been busy on the all-weather this winter and has gone close on numerous occasions. However he does seem slightly better on turf and having gone close off a mark of 75 last summer he does now look well treated. Cripsey Brook's form tailed off at the end of last summer, but the break may have revitalized him and his earlier form gives him strong claims here. David Barker is back amongst the winners and Wulimaster could be spot on for this following two promising efforts. Intavac Boy is another that should step up on a recent outing and has place claims, howver Augustine does look the pick of the weights and he gets the verdict.
