      Verdict

      DRAGON SYMBOL is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton on his debut. But he returned a clear winner and Archie Watson’s grey has little to fear from the others with experience having already beaten Cosmos Raj a long way. Dajraan may have improved since last year as he returns to action while Tiberius Augustus has a speedier pedigree than stablemate Shamrock Wine and may prove best of the newcomers.
