A runner-up at Lingfield last week, Second Serve is getting closer but needs to reverse earlier running at Wolverhampton with Zio Gianni. The latter was beaten less than a length on that occasion with Red Hot Chilly back in fifth and should make another bold bid but DIVINE JOY is preferred. Placed at Wolverhampton in both starts this year, Marco Botti's filly was giving weight to odds-on favourite Intermittent, rated 79, last time and can go one better in this.
