Purple Ribbon made a winning debut when successful over track and trip but may struggle conceding weight to NIZAAKA. The latter placed in a decent contest at Newcastle recently and normal progress should see her go close. Magnificence was narrowly beaten at Kempton on her debut while Miss Marble showed promise on last year’s introduction but has her first outing since. Top Table is a US-bred half-sister to a Grade 1 winner and preferred to Ethel C of the newcomers.
