Doncaster Sunday

THE Yorkshire Silver Vase Mares’ Chase was a thrilling renewal that went to Lady Buttons (Phil Kirby/Tommy Dowson). This was only a listed race on paper, but if Cheltenham get a finish in their first Mares’ Chase to match this, they will be delighted, and it’s hoped that the trio who served it up – and Marie Banrigh, who won the novice handicap earlier on the card – will be around to contest that contest in just over 14 months time.
