Starbotton made little impact on her debut so this can go to one of the newcomers. DARK EROS is a half-sister to winning stable companion No Poppy, who scored over C&D as a two-year-old, and she gets the speculative vote on that basis. Tim Easterby's filly makes more appeal than stablemate Sulky Sheila while Smallbrook Lane's breeding suggests she'll come into her own over longer trips. El Molino Blanco is a half-sister to a couple of 7f winners is preferred to Poetic Star.
