Verdict
Street Poet has the advantage of a recent run though he never figured over 7f at Newmarket with Dream Trader further behind. But PERGAMINO was beaten only a short-head at Kempton when last seen in action and he gets a speculative vote in an open-looking contest. Symbolic was a well-beaten runner-up on his debut at HQ but Luca Cumani has already had a winner from a handful of runners so far so Royal Mahogany is worth a second glance. Wafi Star is another likely improver and Istanbul Bey is a newcomer to note.
