THE HAPPY WARRIOR is one of the few arriving in any sort of form having scored here and at Exeter in recent weeks. Although beaten off a 7lb lower mark last time, Gary Derwin's claim takes care of the extra and it's difficult to find an alternative. Keep The Cash looked to have some ability when placed at Stratford last May but hasn't been seen since August and has plenty of weight as does Businessmoney Judi, though the latter has won three times over hurdles and looked to be coming back to something like her old form last time. Captain Sharpe has been well beaten in sellers and stablemate Going Nowhere Fast looks to have a better chance though his only success came at plating level. Calusa Star has shown nothing but tackles a longer trip on his handicap debut which could bring about some improvement.
