Verdict
Universal Focus is generally consistent and likes a bit of cut in the ground as he had when slamming Machiavelli over 1m4f at Down Royal where the further they went the better he got. Aasleagh Fawn, who finished a seven-length third, can get closer without reversing the form but it's about time FOUR LEAF CLOVER was showing her hand. Aidan O'Brien's charge had a go at this trip in July and never threatened but was noted staying on when dropped to 1m2f at the Curragh and is given another chance to prove her stamina. Attack At Dawn is still a maiden but led at this trip when tackling 2m at Tramore so has no issues with stamina and looks well handicapped
