Most Celebrated found little when push came to shove behind Dinsdale, who runs in the previous race, here earlier in the month and takes on older horses for the first time. Ffos Las winner RED INDIAN was surprisingly turned over when a hot favourite at Kelso in January but is rated 7lb higher than Sir Antony Browne, also a beaten favourite at Fontwell last time after winning at Wincanton. Adrrastos is proving expensive to follow while Whin Park, who has hinted at ability, will be qualified for handicaps after this. Beach Bar has been running at Meydan but this trip stretches his stamina.
