        Verdict

        Arnoul Of Metz has been running well in lowly classified races and won over 5f at Wolverhampton before runner-up at Chelmsford. But STORM MELODY finished second in a handicap at the same Chelmsford fixture when finding only the progressive Album too good and Ali Stronge’s charge is taken to go one better. Everkyllachy has been thereabouts over the minimum trip recently but better was expected from Fact Or Fable in classified company while Top Boy and Hard Solution slide further down the weights.
