FormscanBy Tom Weekes - LIVE TO LAUGH showed good progression over fences last season and has recently converted that ability back over hurdles. Having scored twice last March, the selection’s chase-rating rose to 112 and while upped 14lb following an easy hurdles success at Punchestown, is nonetheless still rated lower than his chase mark and is ideally suited by conditions. Well Bud won a good-ground maiden last month and while he is open to further progression at this trip, lacks handicap experience. Warmer Days Ahead returned in fine form following a summer’s break and seems ground-versatile.
