Race preview
Another difficult contest to assess. Gordon Elliott is double-handed, with Jamie Codd aboard Oh Purple Reign and Lisa O'Neill on Uncle Henry. The former was successful at Gowran last month and looks the stronger of the two. Zahee disappointed at Dundalk on Friday, having won at the Co Louth venue two days previous. Jody Townend now teams-up with the six-year-old gelding and it'll be interesting to see how they fare. REBEL TALE is the selection after he caught the eye at Leopardstown recently. A staying on fourth of twenty at the Foxrock venue, the chestnut gelding should be able to make his presence felt with Finian Maguire aboard. A winner at Killarney in August, Adamaris is given second preference with Patrick Mullins in the plate. Skontonovski and Meishar are other leading hopes.
