Kim Bailey believes ground conditions are the key to Happygolucky's chance in the Paddy Power New Year's Day Handicap Chase at Cheltenham.

The son of Jeremy has won three of his six starts over fences to date, with his most recent triumph coming in a Grade Three handicap on the undercard of the 2021 Grand National at Aintree.
