      Verdict

      Russian Virtue placed twice on the Flat earlier this year when trained by David Menusier and should make the frame in a race like this if his jumping is up to scratch but it is difficult to look beyond CHANCEUX, who bolted up at Chepstow after a promising second at Hereford. None of the others make much appeal.
