Verdict

Universal Focus has a penalty for a victory at Cork last month but didn't run badly in a better race at the Curragh next time. However, the race conditions greatly favour COQUIN MANS, a winner in France and unbeaten in three starts over timber for Willie Mullins, the last two over 3m. He'll be a vey short price here as the opposition looks moderate though winning bumper and hurdler Ask Susan should manage some place money.
