BUTTSBURY LADY is a half-sister to the stable’s useful hurdler Mill Green and she is likely to know what’s required. Waterlefe Getaway cost €29,000 and is by Getaway out of a Luso mare so is bred for jumping while Dansant Express is out of a bumper winner and from a yard that has a good strike-rate in races like this. River Nore, however, will almost certainly need more of a stamina test.
