FormscanBy Alan Magee - HAPPY VICTORY showed some promise over hurdles, notably when fourth to the ill-fated Ginto in a Navan maiden hurdle, and has won both point-to-point starts since sent over fences this year. The selection beat subsequent winner Ryehill at Tinahely and followed up at Punchestown last month when beating Keenaghan Lass by three lengths. Dento Des Obeaux beat Winnie Woodnutt at Oldtown last month, form that was given a timely boost last weekend, and recorded a fourth point win when getting a walkover at Tyrella recently. Carrig Wells has plenty of point-to-point experience winning twice.
