HAPPY HENRY (9) arrives in peak form following a Naas third and a 1. 5L win over 5f at Bellewstown. Leigh Roche retains the ride and he could prove well treated despite stall thirteen. REAL ENCOUNTER (3) is the principal danger after successive placings including a Curragh third trying 6f. Her speed suits the return to 5f despite a rise in weights. FOCACCIA (7) posted strong figures in a 2. 75L Bellewstown maiden win. Gavin Ryan stays aboard. Makes appeal. SOVEREIGN CRY (6) also enters calculations after a 0. 5L Naas success tackling this same trip. The Terry Casey claim and central draw offers tactical flexibility in a competitive sprint.
