With Katie Walsh retired, Jody Townend comes in for the ride on UNIVERSAL FOCUS, who is very consistent and only just failed to add to his winning tally when beaten a head at Dundalk. He stays the trip well and can go one better though Crafted Jewel ran well in the Ladies Derby at the Curragh where she was staying on strongly after getting detached early. Galtymore has yet to win but hasn't been running badly on the Flat or over hurdles and is quite well treated these days. Cash In Mind won four times in France but has never won since moving yards though is gradually dropping to a winnable mark.
