Verdict

PURPLE MARTINI shaped as if this step back up to 7f would suit when fourth at Ripon just over a fortnight ago, so Ben Haslam's charge is fancied to regain the winning thread at the expense of B Associates, who wasn't seen to best effect on return at Newcastle earlier this week. Gone completes the shortlist.
