Seraphinite¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 76| D

8/1

Improved markedly on debut effort when taking a 6f novice race at Kempton in May. Well held at 100/1 in a Group 3 race at Royal Ascot (6f, good-to-soft) last time out and this looks a much weaker contest.

OH PURPLE REIGN has shown good form in three starts so far and he can record a second career success by taking this 6f event on his AW debut. The selection can get the better of Bettys Hope who has placed on the AW in the past while third place can go to Seraphinite who contested a Group 3 race on her most recent appearance.
