MISTER UNIVERSUM has been much improved since the introduction of a tongue tie here in July, finishing his races off much better, and he has been found another very suitable opportunity to rattle off the hat-trick here. Thahab Ifraj ran well here in June and went well enough on the Flat a couple of weeks ago to think he could be the main danger. Fit For The Job has no hurdling experience but should have been well schooled and can round out the first three.
