Verdict

PURVIEW is still low mileage and scored at this level on his final start last season. He appeals as one who'll do better again at 4 yrs and gets the nod over Chally Chute, who proved a revelation after joining Ross O'Sullivan last season, and Joseph O'Brien's very interesting ex-German filly Nyra.

5	Dundalk maiden winner on sole start at 2 yrs went close in the Meld Stakes at Leopardstown in July before signing off his 3-y-o campaign with a win in a 7-runner listed race at Cork (10.4f, good to soft). Perhaps not the most straightforward but he should be up to making his presence felt on return. 1st Pick 5 Purview Jockey: C. T. Keane Trainer: D. K. Weld, Ireland J: C. T. Keane T: D. K.

1	Made excellent start for new connections, winning listed race at Roscommon (125/1) in July and unlucky not to follow up in a 30-runner handicap here on his next start. Swiftly made amends to win the Loughbrown Stakes in November and he's considered after 6 months off. 2nd Pick 1 Chally Chute (Ire) Jockey: D. W. O'connor Trainer: Ross O'sullivan, Ireland J: D. W.

7	Proved herself useful for Waldemar Hickst last summer, winning a Hamburg Group 3 (11f) prior to finishing a close third in the German Oaks. Runner-up in Group 2s at Baden-Baden and Milan subsequently and she's very interesting now representing top yard. 3rd Pick 7 Nyra (Ger) Jockey: D. B.
