In depth
Verdict
Ally Cay went up a massive 14lb for scoring at Roscommon and couldn't quite cope on heavy ground back there last month. Universal Focus was battling on over an extended 1m2f at Down Royal so the extra shouldn't be a problem while Full Moon Magic was only beaten a neck over the trip on soft ground at Thurles in October. Happy Company is only 2-39 on the Flat but the trip holds no terrors as he ran well over 1m5f at Ballinrobe last week. TENTH AMENDMENT has won over the trip and ran his best race for some time when just a length behind the in-form Allora Yeats at the Curragh so gets the nod in a wide-open handicap.
