LOCAL DYNASTY (NAP) has been gelded since last seen in action at Newmarket when denied a clear run. He’s open to further progress over this longer trip as he debuts on the all-weather and gets the vote. Teumessias Fox has form here and returns to his winning trip 4lb higher than when last successful while a tongue-tie is added to Chillingham’s headgear after disappointing at Hamilton. Mr Alan could only manage fifth in this last year and is racing off a higher mark while Leicester winner Beraz is upped in class and Laafi and Mustazeed have been in winning form over 1m2f. Furzig has to race off a higher mark on the all-weather and Prydwen is preferred back on the Tapeta.
