Forecasts

Dragon Symbol (1/2), Edward Cornelius (7/2), Boonie (10/1), Last Crusader (10/1)

DRAGON SYMBOL holds a clear edge on form and is a C&D scorer so looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to resume winning ways. Edward Cornelius arrives in excellent nick from handicaps and can chase home Roger Varian's smart colt ahead of Last Crusader.
