Verdict
Brian Ellison boasts a decent strike-rate with his juvenile hurdlers and the filly Cianciana has won twice on the all-weather and stays 1m2f on the Flat. SCRIPTWRITER is likely to be the newcomer which attracts most attention, however, as he won for Ballydoyle in Ireland before running in a couple of Group 3 contests. Eclairant Le Monde was beaten a long way when second at Cartmel but My Brother Jack was keeping on when second here last month with a subsequent winner fourth and Silver Vision fifth.
