Sandyford Business District Handicap (50-70)
1m
Going: Good (Good to Firm in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NonePURPLE GOWN can go one better having been very unlucky in running at Naas last time. The Jim Bolger trained filly was hampered early in the race then repeatedly denied a run before finishing strongly under Rory Cleary. She gave the impression of being a well handicapped horse and it could be significant that Kevin Manning rides off such a light weight. Airgead reserves his best for Gowran Park and Leopardstown so the Prunella Dobbs gelding has to be of interest. Although making his seasonal debut now, the six-year-old has run well fresh in the past and is likely to be primed for this assignment. Last-time-out winners Magic Charm and Godhead have to be considered despite being disadvantaged with their wide draws.
