KANSAS CITY STAR has been picked up by a top yard since landing a point by a wide margin, so he's worth supporting in his bid to maintain his unbeaten record switched to Rules. What Path's yard has had a stranglehold on the bumper division this term, so he's one to take very seriously on debut, while Bellaney Lord is the clear pick of those with experience in this discipline.
