      Verdict

      Russian Flag is taken to see off Still At Lunch. Charlie Longsdon has found a bad race to get a win out of Russian Flag but he is still one to approach with caution. A notorious puller, he hasn't exactly found a great deal in a finish and it is to be hoped that Richie McGrath can unlock the ability that Tony McCoy and Tom O'Brien have not. Still At Lunch ran a fair second at Perth behind Regent's Secret before going on to disappoint over slightly further. Art Of Being is completely wayward and shouldn't be near a racecourse. No Supper looks plating class if his line of form with Thistle is taken literally. Cragg Vale Lady's SP of 150/1 on hurdling debut just about says it all. A dire contest and Russian Flag has no excuses.
