BUTTERFLY MCQUEEN can win an ordinary maiden judged on her recent second to Space Ship at Chester. She handled testing ground when runner-up on her debut last year and Andrew Balding's filly can get off the mark in this. Huffoof encounters a slow surface for the first time after a third at Newcastle and Alnawiyah steps up in trip for her seasonal bow as does Pearl Street. Better is expected from both Russian Link and Sureness while the newcomer Astorgs Galaxy is related to four winners and is worth noting in the betting.
