Shighness won nicely over track and trip with Here Comes McCoy back in third and winning partner Brian Hughes stays loyal. What About Time posted a better effort at Huntingdon having slipped down the weights but UNIVERSAL FOLLY (NAP) makes most appeal. The latter finished strongly for second in a higher-grade contest at Wetherby last month suggesting this extra distance will suit and today’s conditional was on board when Nicky Richard’s charge last won. Getaweapon, Knockanore and Yellowstone Park have all disappointed since winning at the end of last year.
