Wolftrap has won two of his last three but both were on ground with some give. He's raced here five times and never been placed so is worth opposing on his reappearance. The versatile STYNES (NAP) proved his wellbeing when scoring by five lengths over 1m4f at Brighton last month. He won on fast ground at Newton Abbot in July and has the going in his favour again so should take all the beating. Coeur Tantre won at Newton Abbot in August but has 7lb more to carry, though still makes more appeal than the returning Regal Flow. It's hard to fancy either Mighty Missile or Ladies Dancing on recent form.

Coeur Tantre (IRE) 7-2 (11-6) Held up in main group, went 3rd 4 out, chased clear leader after next, close up before 2 out, soon ridden, led after last, held on flat, won at Newton Abbot 2m 2f hcp (4) gd in Aug beating My Brother Sylvest (11-10) by 3/4l, 7 ran.
Stynes (IRE) 7-1 (9-7) Mid-division, headway when not much room 2f out, led inside final furlong, soon clear, eased close home, won at Brighton 1m 4f hcp (6) gd in Sep beating Galuppi (9-10) by 5l, 12 ran.
Ladies Dancing 20-1 (11-11) Mid-division, ridden after 3 out, weakened before next, tailed off, 9th of 12, 26 3/4l behind The Way You Dance (11-9) at Newton Abbot 2m 1f hcp (4) gd in Aug.
Wolftrap (IRE) 7-2 (10-9) Held up in rear, headway 4 out, chased front pair next, challenged and every chance last, soon ridden, stayed on to lead narrowly final strides, won at Worcester 2m hcp (4) gs in May beating Eddiemaurice (11-2) by nk, 10 ran.
