Forecasts

Born In Purple (5/4), Yokkell (6/4), Picture Of You (7/2), Party Dress (9/2), Heading South (12/1), Florance (16/1), Stormy Jenn (25/1), Bishbashbosh (33/1), Whatmedo (40/1), Lianna (100/1)

This looks a good opportunity for BORN IN PURPLE, who has found just one too good on all 3 outings in this sphere so far but should be all the sharper for her reappearance after 11 months off at Downpatrick recently. Picture of You offered little on her handicap debut back in the spring, but rates a big threat back in this company, with Yokkell and Party Dress both of interest making their respective hurdling debuts.
