      Verdict

      A desperate finale here but something has to win and the principals look to be Butterfly Bud , Athena's Dream and Tempestuous Sea and the vote is given to Butterfly Bud. The selection has been in fair form of late and was a fair sixth behind Northern Chorus in a better race last time out, this looks easier and despite top weight he will be hard to beat. Athena's Dream rates the main danger as she hails from a yard in top form and is another dropped in class so should be noted in the market. Tempestuous Sea is another that could go well but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 338 day absence. Naval Attache is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Butterfly Bud to small stakes.
