Isle Of Wolves is becoming hard to place but Croeso Cymraeg followed up a win at Sandown in July with a second off 6lb higher at Chepstow so goes on the shortlist. SONGO won his first race in this country on Turf with a degree of comfort. He has been raised 6lb but can go in again ahead of Stormingin, third here last time, and Bombero. The latter is back in this grade for the first time since scoring off this mark at Windsor in June. Prince Llyr, Shifting Gold and Millions Memories also catch the eye at the weights.
