Golden De Coeur ran very well at Galway in July and was sent to Ayr last month but found one just too good. HAPPY VICTORY made his debut behind long odds-on stablemate Ginto in a maiden hurdle at Navan and, though never in contention, will have come on markedly for the experience. Musta Lovea Lovea was well beaten on his opening bumper run a year ago but came in for strong support at Downpatrick in May and only failed by a short-head. Colonel Bellew attracted support at Navan but finished tailed off but any money for Summer Melody, a full brother to a bumper winner, should be noted.
