Henry Spiller has the top two in the weights - and a third lower down - and although jockey bookings point to Good Business being stable preferred with Silvestre De Sousa aboard, stable companion ARNOUL OF METZ is taken to come good and gain a first win on Turf. The Kyllachy gelding is in generally consistent form and only succumbed by a short head at Wolverhampton last time. He gets on well with Dylan Hogan and should be in the mix. Monarch Maid has no secrets from the handicapper as an exposed eight-year-old but continues to perform with credit, whilst a rare booking by Philip McBride of Ryan Moore for Simba Samba suggests connections mean business.
