Happy Success looks valid banker material in the middle pin of tomorrow's difficult Happy Valley Triple Trio.
The Alex Wong Siu-tan-trained youngster, who lines up for the fourth event, is very much on the upgrade and put in a creditable effort last time when third to Mabrouk and Lucky Glory ovet the same course and distance.
In the context of what appears to be an ordinary Class Four contest, Happy Success should be hard to keep out of the placings.
But then, as he is only lightly raced, there are grounds for expecting further improvement from this son of the former Henry Cecil-trained top English two-year-old, Be My Chief.
There have also been encouraging signs from the track with jockey Alan Munro taking him through plenty of steady work and making sure he stays settled.
Brave Star made up plenty of late ground last time to run the tierce behind Vantage Point and First Honour over 1,200 metres at the Valley.
He has always shown in his work that he would need at least a mile to prove his potential and his recent track efforts since that surprise debut third give cause for encouragement.
