Race Overview
A very competitive lucky last race. HAPPYDAY (3) returned to form with a solid win last time out and he has won a chase before so could be the right one. CHARMINO (2) let his supporters down last time out but was in fine form before that and can bounce back to score.if in the mood. IDYLLE DES MOTTES (5) is in good form and won well enough last time out to be a threat to these rivals. AS MAGNETIC (6) was consistent before falling last time out so deserves some respect.
