Verdict

IRON BUTTERFLY has been raised 6lb for scoring over the course and distance at the beginning of the month but had plenty in hand and, as that was her first run since she scored over hurdles at Fontwell in March, there should be plenty more to come. Wee Giant showed himself to be in fine fettle with a comfortable victory over slightly shorter here last week and he'll give the selection a race while the heavier the ground the better for Generous Dream, who is just 2lb higher than his only victory at Ripon last year. Naburn has a lot of weight to carry in testing going and will do well to get involved.
