DEEP PURPLE wasn't seen to best effect on chasing debut at this C&D but kept on at the finish and should come on significantly for the experience. My Gift To You won over C&D last time, showing a good attitude, and this consistent sort rates the main danger. Kilmurry Jj is finding his feet for new connections and can build on his recent Uttoxeter third.
