FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HAPPY DREAMS can continue to progress, despite reverting to fences from an 8lb higher rating. Winner of two of his last three chases, he recently showed solid hurdles form, remains unexposed in handicaps and could be suited by running over three-miles for the first time. Joy Of Life ran well at Clonmel recently and could also be suited by stepping up markedly in distance, having won a testing-ground 2m4f chase in January. Happy Jacky is rated 20lb higher over hurdles while his rider also claims 7lb, makes his seasonal reappearance on handicap chase debut with his best form being on summer ground. Made In The Woods recent form (beating Sanibel Island at Clonmel) but is a 12-race maiden while point-to-point winner Mahler Appeal debuts over fences and has recent hurdles form. Goodnightngodbless is frustrating to follow while Baldur's Gate steps up from hunters chases.
