Happaugue won twice at Dundalk at the start of the year but this is a much stiffer task with 12lb more to carry. Alexei Vronsky led right on the line at Roscommon and is 7lb higher but LIEUTENANT SILVER (NAP) has only been raised 4lb for his shock victory at Leopardstown and could still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Day Dreamin' is definitely worth a market check as it is hard to imagine that there won’t be improvement forthcoming now he’s stepped up in trip, though he is having a first run since October. Miracles In May should stay and also warrants close inspection.
