Verdict
Symbolize didn’t really stride out on fast ground at Royal Ascot so don’t be surprised if Andrew Balding’s inmate serves up a stronger performance this afternoon but FINEST SOUND (NAP) came up against a hot one in Listed company at Newbury last month. He comes out best in the weights on today's terms and can take advantage. Perotto hasn't won since landing the Britannia Stakes in 2021 and connections have dispensed with the headgear and tongue-tie that he’s been tried in this term.
