JJ, that's what I came up with - qwll, Rove At. The 'eat' is the partake, the rest...

It's difficult (I think) to justify them - Chambers gives 'aim at' but not specifically 'rove at', and Chambers Wordwizard doesn't allow the latter. Also, I think 'prole' is more specific than the 'popular' synonym suggests (but they're obviously the correct answers).
