Preference is for sole 5-y-o LADY KAI, who ran a couple of crackers on her first 2 starts this year before unseating her rider at the start when sent off a short-priced favourite at Leopardstown recently. Bear Creek continues to go the right way, so he could offer most resistance to the selection, with Beautiful Chaos and Wertpol another couple to consider, too.
