Verdict
Nefyn Point hasn’t been beaten far the last twice but is getting little respite from the handicapper. Zyon has only placed once in five previous attempts over fences but THUNDERSOCKSSUNDAE won here in April having finished runner-up in an earlier run over track and trip. Norley is making his chasing bow but is related to winners over the larger obstacles and has won over hurdles so any market support would be significant.
