In depth
Verdict
Purple 'n Gold easily won a claimer here last month but this is much tougher while Honour started favourite for her handicap debut at Lingfield but could only manage fourth and is not certain to appreciate today's extra distance. A chance is taken on BRIMSTONE HILL as he has produced a couple of strong finishes to grab a place over 1m2f on his last couple of starts and this longer trip can see him back to winning ways. Perfect Delight and Badea finished upsides when behind Focal Maith at Lingfield recently though the latter has been well beaten since.
