Race preview
Runner-up to the talented Giovinco at Aintree last month, UNIVERSAL FOLLY should be well suited by dropping back in trip, having won his previous start at Hexham over shorter. A mark of 124 may still underestimate the eight-year-old, and he gets the vote ahead of easy Kempton scorer Mulberry Hill and Red Happy, who arrives on a hat-trick after winning for new connections at Kelso.
