Verdict
Famous Dynasty won over 1m2f here earlier but King Athelstan scored over track and trip in December and was narrowly beaten back here last time. Mistress Nellie has a bit to find with the latter though has subsequently won at Kempton while Enmeshing has been thereabouts since scoring at Wolverhampton last year. Alvaro and ITS NICE TOBE NICE (NAP) are similar types having only their second outing in handicaps but the latter caught the eye posting a better effort at Kempton despite being badly hampered early in the race. Bill Muir’s filly is fancied to run a big race in this and gets the vote.
