National Service has a penalty for winning at Wolverhampton on Friday but Gordon Elliott’s raider should still be thereabouts. Loudly won a Class 7 event over 5f at Lingfield last time having been well backed. But BLUE BOUNTY went close in this grade over track and trip during the week, with Tax Reform and Jolly Red Jeanz behind, and Mark Tompkins' charge gets the nod. Dream Ally and First Rebellion have both returned to a winning mark and may get involved but it's difficult to make a decent case for any of the remainder on recent form.
