Race preview
PURPLE DAWN won a shade comfortably last time out at Dundalk and although he has to carry a 6lb penalty for that success, he remains the in-form option if he can transfer that effort to the turf. Madonnadelrosario may be the pick of the Aidan O'Brien pair, though it is a close call, while Sir Allen has to carry 2lb more than his allotted weight but still looks interesting in a first-time visor.
