Verdict
Purple Gown had dropped to a mark of 55 when a close second at the Curragh and is now 15lb higher following a comfortable victory over a mile on heavy ground here. Weston has arrived at Gordon Elliott's yard after a couple of victories in Germany while Golden Twilight has a strike-rate of 5-15 though is probably better over further, a remark that also applies to Kingswear, who has never raced over a trip this short. Wild Dollar has won on testing ground over the trip and was beaten less than a length over the track and trip last month while Mr Rango is a soft-ground specialist. TIMOURID and Giladah occupied the places at Cork when close behind Mashoor. There should be little between them again with preference just for the runner-up.
