Longside sets the standard with a mark of 73 and should have the beating of the lower rated Dark War. But a couple of these are looking to improve past him including Sciustree. The latter should have come on for a debut fifth over track and trip and can figure but some useful sorts have come out of the Newmarket contest SYMBOLIC STAR finished third in last year. The Godolphin colt gets the nod to make a winning return. Ware Dancer is out of a prolific mare and worth noting along with fellow newcomer Takahiro.
