Newmarket winner Local Dynasty was a disappointing favourite in a Group 3 contest last time and is penalised back at this level. SIR LAURENCE GRAFF is taken to make the most of the weight concession having just failed to reel in the winner on soft going at Goodwood last month with Frankie taking over the reins today. Elwasme will likely have improved from a recent debut and is preferred to Chindwin while the newcomer Lucky Fifteen is an early Derby entry.
