Karl Burke's ELLUSIVE BUTTERFLY sets the bar fairly high on her recent French listed third and has drawn the inside stall so there are reasons to be very hopeful. Haydock winner Amakhala Warrior has to concede 9 lb to the selection but still looks the obvious main threat. Lavender Gold has some useful winners in his pedigree and is a newcomer to monitor in the betting with Oisin Murphy taking the reins.

  1. ELLUSIVE BUTTERFLY (IRE)
  2. AMAKHALA WARRIOR
  3. LAVENDER GOLD (FR)
