JOYEUX VIVO showed plenty on debut in a bumper here last spring and his reappearance second in a Gowran maiden hurdle was promising, too. The 5-y-o has failed to build on that in two subsequent appearances but he could be about to take a big step forward now pitched into a handicap. Woodstream Lad has looked better than ever since joining this yard and he rates the main danger, albeit only marginally as the likes of Ricky Bobby, McGrath From Clune and Morricone also merit respect.
