Perfect Words returned to winning ways at Wolverhampton last time but runner-up Roy's Legacy re-opposes on better terms. Prominna bids for hat-trick having landing a double on the Turf while Quantum Dot won a lowly Class 7 contest over track and trip three weeks ago and will find this tougher. Pull The Pin is usually thereabouts though his long losing run continues and it could be the turn of EXCELLENT AIM to end his barren spell today on the back of a third at Lingfield.
