MANSFIELD (NAP) was very heavily backed in first-time headgear at Lingfield last week and would have caught Dutiful Son in another stride. Racing off the same mark, Michael Wigham’s charge can recoup losses. Pudding Chare has been showing ability in maidens on Tapeta but the handicappers has taken no chances. Ubla has been knocking on the door but Grey Destiny has been found wanting when tried in this grade in the past. Butoolat was placed twice at Dundalk last month and can go well on her first run for Keith Dalgleish.
