AQUILIFER registered two victories over a mile here earlier this month and carries a 6lb penalty for his latest success. However, that may not be enough to stop him now he's discovered the winning habit and Willie Jarvis' charge can rattle-up a quick hat trick. Monadreen Dancer has had three starts at Wolverhampton and improved on each occasion but it's hard to know what to make of Govenor General, who recorded a half-decent effort over a mile at Yarmouth between two poor runs over today's trip. Roman Strait had Loves Theme behind when scoring here last month and should go well again.
