Neither Silvio Dante nor Flying Nellie have shown a great deal so far and the former tackles a mile for the first time here. This should go to one of the newcomers with Butterfly Queen making plenty of appeal, though her pedigree suggests she may do better on the all-weather. Jockey bookings and breeding suggest COOL RUNNINGS, a half-brother to a couple of decent winners, is Tom Dascombe's number one hope with Unknown Villain not likely to come into his own until next season. The Dalakhani colt can land this, though Geordie Man is from the same family as smart miler Arabian Gleam and Pat Eddery has booked Ryan Moore for the ride.
