HAPPY NEWS was much improved in a first-time tongue strap when making a winning return at Ludlow 3 weeks ago and should have more to offer given that was only her second start over fences. Mackie Dee looks a big threat having made winning debut in this sphere in good style over C&D, while Gustav and Fact Flow were back to form when first and second at Leicester last month.
