LADY BUTTONS is undoubtedly one of the best mares trained on these shores and this admirable dual purpose performer can defy the weights for her 12th success under rules. Chica Buena in receipt of 13lb from the selection given she is now only rated 4lb inferior is technically well in here so a big danger. Irish Roe ran well in this last year and her form ties in closely with Lady Buttons.
