Doncaster has endured some testing times with the weather recently, but this Listed Mares' Chase will warm the hearts of racegoers well beyond the boundary of South Yorkshire. The admirable Lady Buttons returns to fences after being found wanting in the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle, while the improving Casablanca Mix seeks a four-timer for Nicky Henderson. However, following on from an improved run in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon we'll chance that the thoroughly likeable LA BAGUE AU ROI can rediscover her very best form on a drying racing surface. She side-stepped a crack at the King George VI Chase and that patient approach can reap dividends here.
