    Verdict

    Sandy Thomson’s stable is on a high after a big-race double at Newcastle on Saturday and Fantastic Rock placed twice in France last season for former connections. Happy Hollow was 3-3 in bumpers but has been hard to train. However, he’s now had a couple of runs to blow away the cobwebs and it’s obvioud he retains some ability. UNOHU has more recent bumper form and wasn’t disgraced behind the odds-on Shakem Up’Arry, now rated 130, on his debut over timber so should go one better.
