NOBLE DYNASTY won nicely at Thirsk before upped in class at Haydock and failing to get a clear run. The Godolphin colt looks worth another chance back at this lower level. Redarna and Rebel Territory are others dropping back down a grade having won their penultimate starts while Greatgadian failed to see out the longer trip at York last time having won over 7f before that. Ropey Guest is not badly treated on an earlier win at Yarmouth and is preferred to both State Occasion and Scottish Summit.
