      Verdict

      Lady Buttons has been thriving on soft going and she was a course and distance winner back in January, though is now 26lb higher than when her winning run began. It’s about time Sakhee's City was winning one of these and Kelka is the least exposed of these and makes her handicap debut. Reverant Cust got off the mark over track and trip 11 days ago but this looks a better race. NUTS WELL is 9lb higher than when successful in this last year but performed much better back at this track last time and looks poised for a repeat.
