        Verdict

        Symbolic won a Chelmsford maiden by six lengths and could be anything. Fellow Chelmsford winner Murad Khan is also unexposed while Ultimate Star made a winning debut at Wolverhampton. Azhar, Storm Rising, Mikmak and Nimr are all eased in grade while Dark Crescent ended last season with a clear-cut victory at Haydock. CARRINGTON has won three of his nine starts, including over 7f here last time. This will be the top weight's first try over a mile but he should be suited and can score again.
