Verdict
Kaproyale beat Precious Bounty by three lengths between the flags earlier this month but VIROFLAY was conceding 9lb to the useful Singapore Saga at Exeter four weeks ago and faces nothing of that one’s calibre in this. Sine Nomine placed at Cheltenham last season and looks the pick of the remainder.
