FormscanBy Tom Weekes - PURPLE LILY endured a rough passage in the Irish Oaks but holds today's other three-year-olds on previous form and can also defeat older rivals. She failed by a half-length against subsequent English Oaks winner Ezeliya in April, may have been unsuited by dropping to a mile in the Irish 1,000 Guineas but showed high-class form in July, with those first two fillies later filling those positions in the Yorkshire Oaks. The selection has 2lb to find with American Sonja and while she is suited by this distance and finished second in a Deauville Group 1 recently, would prefer an ease in the ground. Elizabeth Jane was a length-and-a-half behind the selection in the Oaks and has solid place claims.
