Verdict
HAPPY DREAMS (NAP) got up on the line over 2m4f over hurdles at Fairyhouse and has won over fences here. This is his first start over the trip but looks certain to be suited. Winning point-to-pointer Mahler Appeal has never run over fences but has been in very good form in staying hurdles but Made In The Woods has now finished second in handicaps over fences four times since December and keeps going up without winning. Joy Of Life takes a big step-up in trip after finishing second over two miles at Clonmel but Sanibel Island still looks on a low enough mark to get involved.
