PURSE PRICE has proven expensive to follow but she was in the process of running well when unseating her rider on her most recent outing at Clonmel and can be given one more chance in a race that may not take a huge amount of winning. Bleu d'enfer and hurdling-debutant The Other Mozzie are considered the main threats.
