RUSSIAN VIRTUE was unable to complete a cross-code 5-timer over 12.4f here 3 weeks ago but, down in trip with Oisin Murphy booked, he can quickly regain the winning thread. International Law is likely to give it a good go, while Breguet Boy needs monitoring in the betting back with his previous yard from a much-reduced mark.
