The going may be quicker than ideal but Emily Easterby should be competitive on board the 11-year-old Dance King in this grade. Mutamaded has plummeted down the weights and is a regular here. Though beaten in a seller last time, it would be no surprise to see him in the firing-line but Nabhan looks vulnerable again. WHITWELL (NAP) has been threatening to get his head in front and the Easterbys have snapped up Serena Brotherton for this. She rode the winner for the yard in 2018 and has also taken the honours on four other occasions.
