Verdict

HAPPY LAD needs to improve his jumping but has plenty of natural ability and he is given a tentative nod in this contest. He took a while to get the hang of things over hurdles - winning on his fifth attempt and looks fairly progressive. Mutadaffeq is a recent winner on the Flat. While his National Hunt form is not as good, with confidence up he could go close. The Tartan Spartan was a very useful Flat performer and is open to plenty of improvement over hurdles.
