Verdict
VIRTUE PATIENCE seemed unsuited by the track at Epsom last time so is worth another chance having shaped well over C&D the time before. Progressive 3-y-o War Howl is the obvious threat as he goes for the hat-trick, while North View took a big step back in the right direction when third at Kempton.
