Second in three of four starts in bumpers, Waterloo Quay may enjoy better luck now going hurdling. Happy Du Mesnil has only finished out of the frame once so far over timber but was a beaten favourite in a three-runner race last time. DOMINIC’S FAULT has a cracking pedigree and this is not a difficult start. He is much preferred to fellow newcomer Henry's Friend.
