Verdict
RASCAL RECKNELL hasn’t raced since August but went close at Sandown and changed hands for 215,000gns in October. Symbol Of Power is a likely improver for Godolphin with cheekpieces applied while Sold The Dream can include a Listed winner among seven winning relatives and Regal Defence is a half-brother to three winners. Lessay and New Statesman are other newcomers to note.
