HAPPY JACKY is improving at a rate of knots but, not surprisingly, has been hit with a 13lb rise for a nine-length victory at Ballinrobe. However, his rider's claim reduces the deficit by 5lb and he can go in again. Multiviz was racing for the 42nd time when finally losing her maiden tag at Tramore though whether she can follow up from 8lb higher is another matter. Ashton Court hadn't shown much before making his debut for a new yard and running well in a Bellewstown maiden so there should be more to come. Slainte And Thanks gained her only victory under Rules on this track last summer and was only just beaten on her only other start here so goes on the short-list.
