Dark and Dangerous will quite rightly be popular in the market here, and holds every chance of following up if allowed a soft lead despite shouldering a 10lbs higher mark than at Sedgefield. However, the scenario exists that the Simon West trained nine-year-old could be a sitting duck for a smooth travelling rival from the last, and if LADY BUTTONS can build upon her solid run here last time and is held onto for a little longer by Adam Nichol, she fits the profile of a likely winner on just her third start back from a lengthy break.
1. Lady Buttons
2. Dark And Dangerous
