ORRISDALE won well on his hurdles debut at Uttoxeter, and looked as if a stiffer test of stamina would bring about improvement, so he's taken to defy a penalty. Rath An Iuir needed the run after an absence on his hurdles debut, and with his point win working out well, he's clearly a big threat. Duc de Grissay was unlucky not to win on his penultimate start, but this is harder, and he will do well to trouble the selection.
