FormscanBy John O'Riordan - HAPPY VICTORY is interesting on his return to racing under rules. The Gordon Elliott trained gelding shaped with promise on a couple of occasions earlier in his career but had rather lost his way of late. The switch to point-to-pointing seems to have had the desired effect with the six-year-old unbeaten in two starts between the flags. With confidence high, the gelding can gain a first win on the racecourse here. Dento Des Obeaux has won four races in the point-to-point fields but also remains a maiden under rules. The 10-year-old arguably has less scope for improvement than some younger rivals but he does arrive here in winning form. Longhouse Star should also play a leading role for the Sam Curling yard. A solid yardstick in point-to-points, he has reached the frame on his last couple of starts.
