Verdict
Sohappyharry is penalised for beating three rivals over the C&D last month and will find this tougher. Marshal Zhukov led for a long way when tackling 3m at Chepstow and should find this more to his liking while winning point-to-pointer Foxbridge won't have been suited by the minimum trip at Ffos Las and is a real threat at this trip. CYDONIA is a half-brother to Keen Leader and other winning jumpers so he did well to win a Huntingdon bumper in easy fashion and looks a nice enough prospect to make a winning start over timber.
