Verdict
Larteta is having his 10th start over fences today but has been getting closer to a first victory. However, RIVER PURPLE was a close second in this last year off today's mark. He turned in a shocker last time at Bangor but this is normally his time of year and he has a decent record on the track. Neither Sands Cove nor Sonofagun have been in the best of form lately either so John Mackie's charge is given a chance of redemption.
