Verdict

A competitive two mile handicap hurdle, which is probably the best race on the card. Lady Buttons comes here in peak form seeking the four timer, and looks very tough to beat. However, whilst Ross Chapman removes the latest 7lb rise from her back, this breaks the fine partnership that she has enjoyed with Adam Nicol (rides stablemate Sakhee's City). NUTS WELL adores his most local track, and whilst he lost his unbeaten record here last month, he ran a fine race in chasing home Teo Vivo, and with Ann Hamilton's horses seemingly back to their best, he's taken to record a third C&D success.
