Verdict

KLASSY KAY took another step forward when a comfortable winner at Punchestown in January. The handicapper has reacted but that may not prove her limit and Willie Mullins' mare is fancied to make another bold bid. Amor Verdadero, who was behind the selection that day, Demi Plie and Strange Notions head up the dangers in an interesting handicap.
