The excellent Sam Ewing can still claim a valuable 5lb which may be enough to see OH PURPLE REIGN gain his first success since his juvenile days after a very narrow defeat at Naas in July. Recent Roscommon winner What A Feeling ran a cracker at the Curragh last month and is only 1lb higher while Red Heel, who completed a double in mid-summer, has been dropped 2lb despite being beaten just a length at Navan. The lightly-raced Kaaranah followed his Galway victory with a close third on ground softer than ideal at Leopardstown behind today's rival Court Of Appeal, who didn't get the best of runs in his follow-up bid at Navan on Saturday.
