This has the look of a strong novice. ROYAL SYMBOL makes plenty of appeal of paper for a superb stable, so he's fancied to get off to the perfect start, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Asaassi is highly respected though, having made a really promising start to his career over C&D last month, while Melfet and Sea Silk Road are two other appealing debutants to note.
