Purple Reign has dropped 6lb since early April and is one to note after a much better run last time with Angus Villiers claiming a further 3lb but Fast Forward and RITA RANA are preferred. The pair finished 1-2 at Windsor earlier this month and there should be little between them again here, though the latter is 1lb better off and Aled Beech claims an additional 5lb. The Writer was behind the duo at Windsor but gives the impression he could get closer this time on just a second start on Turf.
