Coventry was struggling when falling at Fairyhouse but an earlier debut at Punchestown held promise and he shouldn’t be far away with a clear round. Happy Victory is stoutly bred and may have more of a future than exposed stablemate Sideshift but we’ll give another to chance to YA YA BABY as Jessica Harrington’s filly, a winner on the Flat, still appeared to travelling well when unseating her rider at Gowran. Up With The Play finished third in that race and connections will be hoping that the form gets a boost in the first division.
