Trainer Phil Kirby is excited about viewing his two stars Lady Buttons along with Best Ville Ben kick off their respective attempts on bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby.
Leading Ville Ben is a dual winner over fences in the West Yorkshire circuit and has been targeted itself, with rounded off his novice campaign with an excellent attempt to finish third behind Lostintranslation and Topofthegame at Aintree.
The commendable Lady Buttons has won 12 races for Kirby and is set to bidding for a fourth victory at Wetherby from the OLBG.com Mares’ Hurdle – a race she won last year and finished second in supporting La Bague Au Roi in 2017.
Kirby told Sky Sports Racing:”They are both doing lots of cantering. They have not done any fast work however they would not be a thousand miles off. They look well and they’ll both be aimed at the Charlie Hall assembly.
“Best Ville Ben will run in the Charlie Hall and Lady Buttons will won in the Listed race she won this past year. Everything has gone to plan so much, we have only got to maintain it like that.
“Buttons will perform a very similar thing to last year – she will start off at Wetherby, and perhaps visit Newbury and after that go to Doncaster for all those Listed races along with the significant prize-money. Where we finish up at the close of the season we are going to see.
“For Best Ville, the plan was to visit the Charlie Hall to start with. We’ll see how he puts on, but if he’s aggressive, he could always go to Newbury for your Hennessy (Ladbrokes Trophy).”
