      Verdict

      TORPILLO runs in this rather than the Tolworth Hurdle. It’s difficult to evaluate the merit of his victory here last month but he sauntered clear in the closing stages and is clearly above-average so will be a short price to complete the hat-trick. Fukuto carries a penalty for winning an ordinary contest in France in the autumn but newcomer Honorable is interesting having won over an extended 1m6f on the Flat, though may need further. Paddy The Chef was a little keen at Musselburgh and will need settle better here if he is to last home.
