Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Lady Kara brings three wins in recent starts and progressive hurdle form that points to a smooth transition to chasing; she acts on good ground over today's trip and holds the clearest form in the field, with first-time hood and tongue-tie the only query. Glenmalure Flyer is the main threat after a fine display on her fencing debut, while Lakefield Flyer and Delpotro both hold claims. Lady Kara is the selection.

Racing Post pick: Lady Kara
