It's interesting that Charlie Appleby has decided to place AL DABARAN in Listed company on just his second start and he could prove to be better than this level after a fine debut at Newmarket last month. Oh Purple Reign should appreciate the extra distance and looks sure to run well again after an impressive win last time. Sun Power isn't one to underestimate after a promising effort over course and distance last time out.
