SYMBOLIZE signed off in 2021 with a couple of excellent efforts in big-field Ascot handicaps behind the now 124-rated Aldaary and made a pleasing comeback at Thirsk in April. He's partnered by the yard's excellent 5 lb claimer Harry Davies for the first time here and a huge run could be on the way. Last year's second Astro King looks poised to go well again, with Dark Shift, Magical Morning and Totally Charming just a handful of the other leading players.
