SERVOCA has been knocking on the door in maidens for what seems like an age but Barry Hills' colt has yet to get his nose in front and we'll take a chance on debutante Chambers. Mark Johnston's gelding is related to plenty of juvenile winners over sprint trips and is unlikely to be found wanting for fitness, so we'll go with him. Servoca has all the experience here and clearly would not be a surprise winner. He has even been thought good enough to contest a Group 2, but the fact remains that he keeps finding at least one too good and is clearly vulnerable. Comadoir races here for the first time after being well beaten at Lingfield on his first try on an artificial surface. This trip is probably more favourable and he can go close. Point Of Light looks more likely to be better next season, while Desert Falls is worth this first try on the surface and should see out the trip well. Chambers is a tentative choice here.
