Formscan  - VIRTUAL HUG has been thereabouts at the finish on the turf at Bath the last twice. A return to winning ways looks imminent on that evidence and the seven-year-old is taken to end his barren spell having scored three times at this track in the past. Damzon placed off a higher mark here back in May and has a shout, while Three On Thursday could make her presence felt returning to this longer trip.
