A couple of these won at this lowly level at Wolverhampton earlier in the week. Arnoul Of Metz won over the minimum trip but AT YOUR SERVICE scored easily over today’s distance three days ago and is preferred of Chelsea Banham’s three runners. The veteran Deeds Not Words won this last year and could pop up again if the mood takes him while Alqaab makes most appeal of the remainder, though that’s not saying much.
