Dolly Dancer is a course specialist but she’s not been firing on all cylinders for quite a while and Croagh Patrick has become expensive to follow. HAPY LE VIE (NAP) made a promising start over the larger obstacles here last month and will appreciate this extra half-mile having placed between the flags. Huntingdon second Ho Que Oui is a lot more exposed and has to give the selection 13lb.
