Verdict
Plenty with claims in this though Symbolic Star has been raised 6lb for a course and distance success and Chelmsford runner-up King Oswald is upped in class. Wonderfillo and Cadeau Magnifique went close again over longer trips on their respective latest outings though both have a propensity for finishing second and Newmarket Warrior is preferred on a recent third over track and trip. Ascot Week is one of the least exposed but LOST AT SEA finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the weights when separating higher-rated horses in a novice race at Lingfield. Karl Burke’s charge could make a bold bid in this and gets the nod.
