Winner of her last two handicaps in convincing fashion including on soft ground at Southwell last time. Winner over this trip the time before and every chance she can complete the hat-trick off this 12lb higher mark for a yard with an 18% strike rate (3/17) recently.
Had the 2015 winner back in second when taking this mares handicap last year. Appeared well held when falling at Haydock subsequently and didn't beat a rival home at Warwick when last seen on the track over nine months ago. .Off a 2lb higher mark than for her win in this last year and looks set to go well if fit for her return here.
Winner of a novice hurdle at Wetherby following a maiden success at Kelso late last year. Well beaten last of six in a listed mares event at Haydock when last seen in action in December and an interesting contender down in grade on her handicap debut here.
Finished 17L behind a subsequent winner when runner-up at Fontwell in January, Well held on two previous outings over hurdles and makes her handicap debut in this.
Forecasts
Lady Buttons (11/8), Taweyla (2/1), Kalaniti (9/2), Versifier (11/2)
LADY BUTTONS appears to have been found a decent opportunity to complete her hat-trick here. The selection has been a comfortable winner the last twice including over slightly further than today's trip on her penultimate outing, with the yard going well she can claim a sixth career success at the chief expense of Kalaniti who takes a drop in grade here having contested a listed event last time out while Versifier and Taweyla can fight it out for the minor honours.
1. Lady Buttons
2. Kalaniti
3. Taweyla
