PURPLE AFFAIR didn't reach top gear until well inside the final furlong over 7f at Lingfield last time when just failing to catch the winner. Today's extra distance should suit on that evidence and Stan Moore's charge gets the nod. Lana, Tectonic and Umph all finished behind him last time and the handicap debutants Beauchamp Castle and Ma Kellys could prove bigger dangers. Yarmouth winner Speedi Mouse disappointed at Wolverhampton recently but has claims on her previous fourth over C&D.
