Dick Donohoe has decided to let HAPPY ANNIVERSARY loose again with a 10lb penalty and it's hardy a surprise as the mare will be hit with a massive rise after completing a hat-trick already this month. She didn't look as though she'd had enough at Killarney on Monday and can complete a super-quick four-timer. Vastonea was having his first run for almost a year when runner-up to Princeton Plains at the Curragh last month and with that under his belt looks the one to take advantage if the selection has had enough for the time being. Strandfield Lady's winning run came to an end at Down Royal but that was a stronger handicap than this and she's no forlorn hope to bounce back with Sam James able to claim 3lb. Midnight Music has been running well over further but will love the ground and she'll be thereabouts, especially if the going becomes any softer.
