Verdict
RUSSIAN VIRTUE won over 1m2f here in between three wins over hurdles. This longer trip looks sure to suit back on the Flat and he can defy a 2lb rise in this company. Bobba Tee gets another change of headgear looking to build on a recent fifth over track and trip while Rockabill Angel switches to a visor after a disappointing effort at Kempton but the remaining pair are hard to recommend.
