In depth
Verdict
LET’S BE HAPPY bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins. She won a claimer before last month’s handicap success and should go close back at this level. Moltoir has a shout on these terms but has something to prove over this far with an earlier win at Beverley coming over 7f but Secratario is not out of this having scored over 1m2f at Chelmsford back in May. Endean is clear of the rest at the weights but still has plenty to find with the leading contenders.
