Butterfield completed his double at Wolverhampton and stays the trip though he's never run well here. Que Quieres has won twice at Chelmsford in recent weeks and has only gone up 2lb for his latest victory while Capricorn Prince, a winner over 1m4f here earlier this month, will have found 1m2f too short on a return visit a week later. Accessor scored over 1m4f at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago but failed to fire on this track three days later. MOONLIT SEA was beaten a neck over hurdles last month and has no problems staying the distance so gets the vote to lose his maiden tag.
