Formscan  - RIVER OF JOY completed a brace of wins by outstaying the opposition in a similar event over C&D last month. That was a better round of jumping than she posted when successful at Hexham on her previous start and was conclusive evidence that she is learning on the job. This is more competitive, though, and the likes of Ile De Jersey and Nickelforce are capable making it a tougher assignment for the selection.
