Successful over hurdles at Fairyhouse in February, HAPPY DREAMS again ran well when runner-up back over fences here (24.6f) 2 weeks ago, arguably deserving of extra credit having allowed the winner too much rope in front. He gets the nod to continue the good work, with Gowran-scorer From The Ashes and another in-form sort Bonnie Kellie others to consider.
