Gerard Butler doesn't have many runners here but has a good strike rate with the few that make the journey from Newmarket and he won this contest in 2008 with the three-year-old Polyquest. COUNTESS ELLEN looks a similar type in that she comes into the race on the back of some indifferent form in maidens but potentially well treated in comparison to more exposed rivals. She gets the vote ahead of Luca Cumani's Kempton fourth Majestic Bright, who has shown her best form so far on Polytrack. Sail Home needs to improve again on her Yarmouth victory to follow up off a 7lb higher mark while Rio's Rosanna was well beaten in a Thirsk maiden last time and will probably need to drop a few pounds before recording a first win.
