HAPPY INDEX (14) bids for a hat-trick following a 5L success over 2m7f last month at Market Rasen. Top chance. DESPEREAUX (4) showed his best form last week scoring by 3.75L in a 3m handicap hurdle at Ludlow. Worth including. UGO BINGO (11) is another previous winner having found success narrowly in a 2m3f handicap hurdle here. Ticks plenty of boxes. KENDELU (1) returns after a long absence but is a previous course winner. Worth a market check.
