Formscan - Briery Butterfly has found one too good the last twice, most recently at Huntingdon, and she may fill that position again, this time behind KALO ATHENA. Jimmy Moffatt's mare finished second in heavy conditions at Newcastle in January and now sports a tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination for the first time, with Brian Hughes booked. Coylton King still had every chance when unseating at the last over C&D and isn't ruled out either.
