Verdict
The unbeaten DRAGON SYMBOL has won all three outings over 6f on the all-weather by a wide margin. He moves further up the ranks on his Turf debut but is worth sticking with despite the tougher opposition and drop down in trip. Burning Cash finished in front of Muker with Ben Macdui well beaten when runner-up in a conditions race at Nottingham. He looks the main danger given he’s also weighted to beat recent Newmarket runner-up Significantly.
