    Verdict

    Russian Virtue has completed a double over hurdles since last seen on the Flat in October while First Snowfall has been raised 4lb for a recent victory over track and trip though was beaten less than a length here on Friday. But the Crisfords’ yard remains in top form and ROSA DEL RIO (NAP) will be sharper for a comeback run at Chelmsford behind higher rated horses than these with improvement expected now handicapping. Bay Dream Believer may prove best of the rest.
