      Verdict

      Prolific winning chaser RED HAPPY remains unexposed over hurdles and looks the one to beat back in novice company. He’s clear of Festive Glory on these terms with the latter penalised for winning at Worcester. The remainder have yet to threaten with Bonnet was still beaten a distance when third at Fontwell while Cuddly Dudley makes his debut over hurdles.
