COEUR JOYEUX (NAP) was probably unlucky to be beaten at Navan as he made a bad mistake at the last. That was over the minimum but his earlier run over this trip behind Battleford give him the edge. Harold Peto didn't enjoy heavy ground at Leopardstown after a much better run on good going there in January while Coolmeen Hill made a winning start for new connections in a Clonmel bumper in September and has a very smart pedigree for jumping. Drumconnor Lad couldn't get to Castlegrace Paddy at Gowran though that was over the minimum and this is much more like his trip.
