LADY CHRISTA made all with loads to spare at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago and, despite a hefty rise, she's worth chancing to go in again. There's plenty of depth in the opposition and Courageous Strike is of interest after a positive start for his new stable, while Zariygann should have a bigger effort in him back up in trip.
