Verdict

UNIVERSAL FOCUS produced his best effort of the season when fourth of 11 back from a break at Down Royal and, if able to build on that, he may well be the answer to this open-looking handicap. Rita Levi is lurking on a dangerous mark and she will be a threat if on-song, while Light Fury is of interest now handicapping with Colin Keane in the hot-seat and Whyzzat also enters calculations.

  1. UNIVERSAL FOCUS (GER)
  2. RITA LEVI (IRE)
  3. LIGHT FURY (IRE)
