Verdict
The Cola Brasil travels over from Ireland having placed at Dundalk last month while St Andrew's Castle won over track and trip last time. But CODE PURPLE was only headed in the closing stages when runner-up over course and distance in a higher grade than this and Ben Haslam’s charge may prove good enough. Both Jems Bond and Lucky Lucky Lucky scored here on their penultimate starts, with the former beating Bobby Joe Leg, and looks to have every chance again.
