Verdict
The penalised Chocolate Soldier will no doubt be a popular selection and he has to be placed on the short list. However, this does not look to be the strongest of bumpers and the previous experience of It's Harry is enough to merit a small stakes interest in Sue Smith's charge - although a move for his stablemate Destino will also be interesting. The Nicky Henderson-trained Star Prize is another to monitor for market confidence and it could prove to be significant if he is supported. However, as weight plays such a huge part in these events, It's Harry, with a useful 7lb claimer aboard, is selected to come out on top.
