Verdict

HAPPY DREAMS took his form up a notch when scoring over hurdles at Fairyhouse last time and this course winner is taken to translate that form back over fences here. Happy Jacky was an early casualty at Thurles but remains with lots of potential and rates the chief threat ahead of in-form duo Goodnightngodbless and Baldur's Gate.
