PURPLE DAWN makes a quick reappearance after a comfortable victory at Dundalk on Friday for which he's penalised 6lb. However, Jake Coen has been booked with his 7lb claim so his mount looks ready to complete a quick double. Aidan O'Brien is doubly represented. Madonnadelrosario landed a 7f nursery here in August and has performed in much better company subsequently. Cyclamen couldn't handle Listed company here last time but her earlier close third behind Tut Tut at Listowel puts her in the picture. Brown Eagle has been showing good speed and has a chance of some prize money on his nursery debut.
