Formscan By Gary Carson - HAPPY VICTORY is tried in a bumper now after a promising run behind stablemate Ginto in a Navan maiden hurdle early last month. The Buck's Boum gelding showed up well for a long way when fourth on his debut and dropping back in trip now doesn't look a worry. Musta Lovea Lovea was just denied in the dying strides when last seen at Downpatrick in May and he is entitled to be a big player here if stripping fit on his return to action. Golden De Coeur has been placed twice since joining Colin Bowe and is another that has to come into calculations. He was runner-up at Ayr last time and the form of his third at Galway previously looks solid.
