Verdict
Master Mead left previous form behind when third at Newton Abbot, where Cheer's Delboy was pulled up, but Hapy La Vie has shown better form over fences, going one better at Hexham after a debut second there over the larger obstacles. But he’s gone up 6lb and COPPER FOX has already placed around here and has had excuses in both starts since.
