Race preview
Having flattered to deceive last season, HAPPY looked a different animal on his first run since being gelded when getting the job done in a Beverley novice event with the minimum of fuss, and he can follow up back in a handicap over a longer trip. The lightly-raced Life On The Rocks, a winner at Ayr on his reappearance, has been hit by a 4lb rise but may appreciate a step up in trip and the introduction of cheekpieces. Magna Moralia is another to consider.
