      Verdict

      Both of Correggio's victories have come on this track including this race a year ago from 5lb higher on his reappearance. His form was erratic subsequently but it would be no shock to see him complete the double. Westwood Hoe makes his handicap debut and has never raced on Turf but he's built for carrying big weights and has plenty of scope. Michael Dods brings TRINITY STAR out quickly after an unlucky run on Wetherby's new Flat track on Sunday. He ended the last campaign completing a double and is probably capable of winning from higher than his current rating. Woody Bay was in brilliant form in the summer of 2013 but struggled at the weights subsequently and went up twice at the backend of last season without winning. We'll Deal Again has had 52 starts but very rarely beyond 7f though he was staying on over that trip on his reappearance at Wolverhampton.
