Forecasts

Symbolic Power (6/5), Top Brass (9/4), Reams Of Love (7/2), Conquering Eagle (8/1), War Thunder (16/1), Nibras Gold (18/1), Reverend Hubert (28/1), Secret To Success (50/1)

Some potentially useful types here, with John Gosden's TOP BRASS taken to get the job done at the third time of asking having shaped with promise in pair of minor events at Sandown. He's open to improvement with the step up in trip looking sure to suit. Symbolic Power heads up the list of dangers, along with War Thunder and Conquering Eagle.
