The Way You Dance is penalised for last week's course and distance victory but scored by five lengths and should go well again. But it may be MINSTREL LAD's turn today as he can race off a 5lb lower mark back on the all-weather having been beaten only a head at Leicester on his latest start. Outlaw Torn is usually in the mix at this level while Mandria won over a shorter trip here in September but remains 6lb higher and Full Of Speed was placed over 1m4f here on a couple of occasions in August but remains without a win.
