Verdict
Orrisdale was in front and probably travelling best when falling at Newton Abbot but has been rather harshly raised 5lb for that effort. Torigni won twice over hurdles but may not have the size or scope to make a chaser. SAM BARTON (NAP) beat The Edgar Wallace a shade cosily over hurdles at Doncaster at the start of the year. He is 4lb better off with the runner-up here and clearly needed the run and the experience when fourth on his chasing bow at Ascot so can improve past the four-year-old Hardy Du Seuil, who only won a match at Carlisle.
