In depth
Verdict
Not the strongest of maidens and Purring, who made his debut over course and distance, may be good enough. Others to consider are Russian Dune, who will find this easier than the maidens he has been tackling and Band Of Love who had a 79 rated rival, three lengths behind her when runner-up at Beverley.
