Dalton Lane found one too good over the minimum trip at Newcastle and Rooska finished third over 5f at Musselburgh on their respective debuts. But HAPPIER is going the right way judged on a recent second over today’s distance at Thirsk and Tim Easterby’s yard has been among the winners in the last few days. The newcomer Dusty Rug was a cheap purchase but is related to stablemate and five-time winner One More Dream.
