MISTER UNIVERSUM failed to pick up behind Thahab Ifraj here last month and is shouldering a double penalty again but none of these look capable of getting him off the bridle. Reckless Behavior is readily held on the form book and Not At All is proving a huge disappointment. Flashing Glance started favourite on his hurdles bow at Bangor eight days ago but finished tailed off, though should be capable of better.
