Verdict

Via Del Corso has been going well on the Flat and looked to have a decent chance in the 7.50 here last night. Rare Symphony hasn't been seen since September but looks quite well treated but Miradane appears to be making his handicap debut from a high enough mark. Usa won on fast ground here in May and has been well beaten in softer going so this looks destined for WOOLY TOM, who had shown absolutely nothing in maidens but beat a big field on his handicap debut at Gowran and should follow up despite an 11lb rise.
