      Verdict

      Cresta De Vega was just beaten over this trip at Lingfield in January but ran poorly on his only previous start on Turf. WESTERNESSE was a beaten favourite on his final two starts for Dermot Weld in Ireland last year but he’s not highly tried on his UK debut and can get the better of recent Redcar fourth Mahanakhon, who probably needs another furlong.
