Verdict
James Tate has displayed a nice touch with juveniles since taking out his license and TOBOUGG HAPPY should go close for the thriving yard after a more than satisfactory debut when runner-up to Wee Jean at Chepstow, albeit at a respectful 4l distance. Normal progress is anticipated and she's taken to prove too good for the more exposed Hatti. The latter was the only one to test Hay Chewed when runner-up at Yarmouth last time and performed adequately on two previous outings. She's an obvious danger whilst Fine Art Fair was not a cheap purchase by any means and should come on appreciably for his debut in a better Sandown race behind Biography.
