Verdict
Cheltenam De Vaige has been in good form over hurdles and his yard continues to accumulate winners but Moratorium steps out of the hunter chase ranks after a break racing for a new yard. ORGANDI usually contests better races than this. He’s slipped down the ratings so gets the nod, though a slipping saddle caused Cartmel winner Fairlawn Flyer to be pulled up at Southwell on Thursday.
