      Verdict

      Unless Fred Watson's newcomer Little Miss Nelly is above average, this looks a straightforward task for MADAME BUTTERLY. The betting will reflect that but David O'Meara's filly deserves a change of luck having only found one too good in her three runs to date and switching back to Turf won’t be a problem. Ghostly Arc hasn't raced over a trip this short since his second start while it's more than two years since Chiron has seen a racecourse.
