Verdict
Dashing Dick was arguably unlucky not to open his account last year but he didn’t shown much at Kempton 10 days ago and the four-year-old Born To Destroy boasts a similar level of form on Polytrack and is tried in blinkers today. Tributo improved for the fitting of a tongue tie here nine days ago but that was over 5f. Archie Watson can get one ready at home and DRAGON SYMBOL was a 67,000gns yearling and is the first foal to race of a 1m2f winner. He may do better over a mile but this is not a strong maiden.
