COEUR JOYEUX finally got off the mark last time out and won quite impressively too. He is still only six so perhaps this season will be the one where he makes progress and he could be capable of a further step up to win this. Ontopoftheworld was going the right way when last seen and should continue that upward curve this season. Bosman Rule has shown precious little over fences but his hurdles form leaps off the page and on his handicap debut it would be no surprise if he improves.
