Forecasts

Purple Dawn (9/4), Cyclamen (11/4), Brown Eagle (4/1), Shaky Operator (5/1), Sir Allen (11/2), Mr Globalist (11/2), Madonnadelrosario (6/1), Ta Na La (16/1)

Verdict

PURPLE DAWN opened his account in taking style at Dundalk only four days ago and is fancied to follow up now going into nursery company under a 6 lb penalty. Sir Allen is weighted to go well if the fitting of a visor sparks a resurgence. Course winner Madonnadelrosario can't be ruled out either now back in calmer waters.

  1. PURPLE DAWN (IRE)
