Forecasts

At Your Service (7/5), Your Choice (10/3), Arnoul Of Metz (9/2), Alqaab (6/1), Atyaaf (15/2), Independence Day (8/1), Egotistic (18/1), Kit's Allanah (28/1), Deeds Not Words (28/1), Mykindofsunshine (28/1), Poppy Jag (100/1), I Am Wild (500/1)

AT YOUR SERVICE justified strong support when regaining the winning thread over this trip at Wolverhampton on Wednesday and he's fancied to make a bold bid to follow up. Arnoul of Metz, who defied a lengthy absence to score himself 5 days ago is feared, along with Egotistic and Mykindofsunshine.
