Formscan By Gary Carson - This looks like a good opportunity for HAPPY D'EX to gain a deserved success over fences. The Saddler Maker mare has been running against some decent rivals over the winter and has been placed on all three previous chase starts. Most recently she chased home Time To Rocco at Thurles last month and a similar effort should be enough to get her head in front now. Bay Ambition has plenty of experience over fences and should be thereabouts. She was a faller last time, when still involved for the places, having run well to finish third at Clonmel previously. Choice Of Words was well beaten on her chase debut at Thurles, when behind Happy D'ex, but may improve from that experience and could get closer now.
