HAPPY DIVA has run well in defeat in both starts over fences so far and she can register her first victory over the larger obstacles in this Listed mares contest. The selection finished a good second at Carlisle last time and is taken to get the better of Tacenda who can confirm last months Fontwell running with Two Swallows by getting the better of that rival in the battle for second.
