Verdict

RUSSIAN VIRTUE has proved better than ever over hurdles of late, battling well when making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Carlisle in December, and he can score again from a workable mark back on the level. The main danger could be Shaheen Saqaar, who opened his account in good style at this C&D last time, with Verona Star another to note.

  1. RUSSIAN VIRTUE
  2. SHAHEEN SAQAAR (IRE)
  3. VERONA STAR (IRE)
