Floralys is clear of those with an official rating and was sent off favourite on her return from a lengthy absence and debut for John Butler at Kempton. She'll have come on for that but is facing stiffer competition today that includes the improving Botteen and especially LAUDATION. He was only beaten a couple of lengths in a better maiden than this last month and will relish today's extra furlong. The Scuttler and Wotabooty also have a shout while the newcomers Storm and Arjawan are worth a second glance in the betting in an open race.
