Formscan  - Similar to his stable, RUSSIAN VIRTUE can do little wrong at present and his most recent win on the level at Newcastle confirmed his well-being on the back of a double over hurdles. The six-year-old could still be ahead of the handicapper and he can see off Silkstone, who is aiming for a hat-trick over C&D, and the unexposed Edgar Allan Poe. Bridge Road is a key player as well based on the pick of his form.
