THE HAPPY HAMMER was well backed last week and he can recoup those losses in the finale. Trained by Eugene Stanford, the gelding gets to try his hand at the same mark of 58 though William Carson replaces Simon Pearce. Via Aurelia got rather worried out of it at Brighton last time out so expect the jockey to make her mind up at an earlier juncture. Imaginary Diva has ran into the places under similar conditions and with George Margarson's yard in better nick, she has to be given obvious claims. Pavement Games won under Kieren Fox at Kempton though this time she gets the Kieren Fallon treatment back on the turf at Yarmouth. Captain Bluebird kept on stoutly at Wolverhampton over five and is worth another go over six furlongs this afternoon.
