6/1

Winner at Leopardstown in April. 66/1, off 3 months and first run since leaving J. S. Bolger when fifth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, finding herself a long way back but passing a good few and not knocked about. Interesting.

10/3

Winner at Ayr in July. Hooded for 1st time, good second of 6 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D (soft) 31 days ago. That was a stronger race (third won next time) and she's expected to be bang there again.

Forecasts

Nefyn Dawn (10/3), Banner Road (10/3), Elettaria (9/2), Motarajel (5/1), Absolute Dream (6/1), Purple Gown (6/1), Retirement Beckons (7/1), Zumaaty (8/1)

PURPLE GOWN made an encouraging start for her new trainer at Ripon and looks interesting down in class. Banner Road remains in top form and seems sure to go well. Retirement Beckons has to be feared again.
