Royal Trooper is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton last time and third-placed ANGUS GLENS re-opposes on much better terns. The latter looks capable of turning the tables in this and is also preferred to Zinnobar, who remains 10lb higher than when landing a double here in August. Stilla Afton needs to improve but is still preferred to stablemate Emperor Ferdinand, well beaten in a seller last time.
