Verdict
HAPPY VICTORY may be the answer to a poor opener. Though he was beaten a long way at Down Royal in January he'd shown promise behind smart stablemate Ginto on his debut at Navan. Silver Gazette also showed potential on his opening run at Ballinrobe though that was over 2m5f. Laser Focus didn't run badly at Listowel though needs to brush up his jumping but Hollys Honour has been running quite well in handicaps and can get into contention.
