TORTONI missed the break when third on his debut at York but will hopefully know more today and should take all the beating if Darryll Holland is able to grab the inside rail from stall two. Pitt Rivers has already been placed over 5f at Brighton and Salisbury but, along with Newcastle third Moonville, has a wide draw here. Tight Lipped, third at Beverley on his debut, isn't much better off but has scope for improvement and makes more appeal than the visored Adranian.
