A decent Listed sprint and a chance for DRAGON SYMBOL to regain the winning thread. The colt showed little on his first start for Roger Varian in Group 2 company at York when well supported but can prove too good for these if anywhere near the level he displayed for Archie Watson last term. The majority of his opposition arrive in search of valuable black type but Tenaya Canyon finished a close second at Listed level last time and it would not surprise to see her go well again. Clarendon House was not disgraced at Group 2 level at Longchamp last time and trip and ground will suit while Atalis Bay and Tabdeed are each-way options.
