Forecasts

Christopher Wood (5/2), Red Happy (4/1), Universal Folly (9/2), Mulberry Hill (9/2), Dubai Days (6/1), Grey Skies (15/2), Scipion (25/1), Ujumpthelastuwin (100/1)

Verdict

UNIVERSAL FOLLY may have had his winning run ended when second at Aintree last month, but he lost little in defeat to the very promising Giovinco (runner-up in a Grade 2 next time) so he is taken to record his fourth success of the season. Mulberry Hill proved better than ever when scoring at Kempton last time and is feared most, ahead of Dubai Days.

  1. UNIVERSAL FOLLY
