Verdict

DYNASTE has only beaten Silviniaco Conti once in six attempts but all of those races were over 3m or further. Winner of the Ryanair over 2m5f at The Festival two years ago, David Pipe's grey is the most likely of the pair to be suited by today's drop in distance and the dual King George winner also has questions to answer having been pulled up at Kempton last time. Flemenstar won a Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas but that was over 2m1f and that is his sort of trip nowadays. Savello may find this too far but Ma Filleule was runner-up in this last year and makes more appeal than stable companion Triolo D'Alene. Royal Regatta has run well twice over course and distance recently but has a lot to do at the weights.
