In depth

Verdict

Universal Focus has won around here and ended the last campaign scoring at Cork. He'll be better for last month's run at Leopardstown and can get into contention. The veteran Park Row gained the ninth victory of his career when battling on at Dundalk and has won from higher marks than this. DAZZLING DARREN ran poorly over timber last time but his earlier victory at Sligo puts him right in the picture so he gets the nod in an open contest. Anycity was returning from a very long break when fifth at Fairyhouse where he had Na Caith Tobac behind while Melliferous has to be considered as her close sixth at Leopardstown was only her eighth start and there's probably more to come.
