The Nunthorpe is just hours away and in the races in honour we have looked back at one of the most special winners of the race in 2016.
Mecca's Angel is one of few horses to land back to back renewals of the event and Michael Dods has a superb record in this race winning it in 2015, 2016 and then losing in a photo finish just two years later.
Mecca's Angle was a pacy filly who has gone on to be a superb sire and on Friday Dods fields Que Amoro who is a huge 22/1 shot for the Group one.
