Verdict

SYMBOLIC POWER has placed in all three outings in maiden company and will appreciate the return to Polytrack having encountered heavy going at Newmarket last time. Gelded subsequently, the Godolphin charge looks the one to beat. Course and distance winner Book of Secrets placed at Wolverhampton recently and has the beating of Wholelotafun on collateral form while Swinton Noon beat Space Kid by only a neck over a mile at Southwell earlier and the latter re-opposes on better terms.
