A win for Social Butterfly in the first division would be a huge pointer to the chances of TONI’S A STAR, who was just beaten by that one here last month before beating Red Stripes half-a-length over track and trip 11 days ago. He’s gone up 3lb but Poppy Bridgwater takes off 5lb again and the top weight is well drawn. Zipedeedodah hasn’t run badly since his summer break and had wind surgery recently so could find some improvement. Little Miss Lola has placed three times on Turf this summer and won at Newcastle last year but showed little on her return to the all-weather when behind the selection and Foxy Boy.
