Universal Focus makes a quick reappearance after a good run at Fairyhouse on Sunday which followed a narrow defeat over the track and trip last month. He should go well but comes up against a couple of improvers including Champagne Terri, a very easy victory when sent to Windsor. She should have no problems with the slightly longer trip nor should DROMANA, who had been threatening to win before doing so in taking fashion at Limerick and gets the vote to follow up. Tracker Saga has yet to win and takes a massive step-up in trip while Drakensberg completed a double at Dundalk in the spring before failing to handle heavy ground and 2m2f in the Chester Plate Handicap.
