Lady Buttons (4/6), Kelka (85/40), Bollin Ace (9/1), Applaus (20/1), Under The Red Sky (150/1)

LADY BUTTONS is a classy mare, and she has rediscovered her sparkle over the past 13 months or so. She impressed on her Bangor chasing debut in November in a stronger contest than this race (Listed), and has been far from disgraced over hurdles in a couple of trips to Leopardstown since. Kelka is the obvious danger, but whilst she's a likeable mare overall, and fully entitled to improve on her chasing debut at Catterick, she did take a chance at a couple of fences there, and she won't get away with similar antics around Newcastle.
