Genuine tempo with the speedy Butterscotch leading the way. BUTTERSCOTCH (9) is the first of two runners by The Autumn Sun out of G1 producer Bagalollies going around at this meeting - Lollie's Galore in R2 the other - and she looks to have found the perfect race. Was only nosed out last start in a race of more depth and gets an extra 262m, which should suit given half-siblings include Werther and Toffee Tongue. OLYMPIAD (7) got into the placings for the first time, which coincidentally was his first time beyond 1400m, last time and you'd think the extra trip here will be of benefit third-up. EN MER (2) is also third-up here and although beaten a long way last start looks ready to improve at this distance. SO VOGUE (3) is another who has had two runs back and might have been outpaced staying at 1590m last start, so the step up suits and he's drawn to take up a handy spot. BORN SURVIVOR (1) was woeful last start but was a model of consistency prior and should be given another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Butterscotch to win.
