This takes place on the Polytrack and ZONISTY is difficult to oppose despite carrying a penalty for last month’s course and distance success. He returned a convincing winner on that occasion and further progress is expected. Ledders ran well in an Ascot bumper on his debut and can figure while Jack Hyde debuted in Listed company at Cheltenham and should finish closer in this. Happy Boy disappointed in heavy going last time but may prove best of the rest.
