Virile beat Rat Catcher, due to run in the previous race, over 5f here last time and is upped 4lb. But the winner of 12 months ago, PRIGSNOV DANCER, scored off a higher mark at Nottingham last month and he gets the vote back on the all weather today. Etaad is harder to fancy having won over a mile at Kempton last time but Sewn Up has a shout after finishing second over 7f here recently when ahead of Lady Atlas. Dream Ally is back on a winning mark if at his best but Rocket Rob's long losing run continues.
