-------------------------------------------------

Shares in urology specialist Plethora Solutions (PLE.L) rise 55 percent to 24 pence following a positive Phase III result for its premature ejaculation drug.

Shares in Rentokil Initial (RTO.L) rise 4 percent to 48.75 pence after the services group reports slightly better than expected third quarter results and says its turnaround plans are on-track and should take three or four years to complete.

The company, founded in the 1920s, is still suffering from the poor integration of acquisitions and misguided cost-cutting plans by previous management.
