Verdict
Dame Sarra won a classified race here before scoring over today’s trip at Chelmsford and is only 4lb higher. But VIRTUAL HUG was successful over course and distance before dropped in trip last time and he gets another chance in this. Peripeteia also won here back in October and has placed subsequently while Wilkie has been thereabouts looking to exploit a slide down the weights.
