      Verdict

      This is another trappy event in which Astrodome is taken to get the better of Bocciani and Dusk. The selection ran his best race yet at Yarmouth when he finished third behind World Time last time. That was a competitive handicap and if he can reproduce the form today then he can prove hard to beat. Bocciani is a lightly-raced and it will be interesting to see how Mark Johnston's 3-year-old gets on for this his handicap debut. Dusk wasn't disgraced at Windsor last time but this slight step-up in trip is not sure to play to his strengths. Tyrrells Wood shaped with promise on his handicap debut at Sandown last time and he should come on for the run as he was returning from a break that day. He is one to note in the market, but we will stick with Astrodome as the pick.
