FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BAL KAUTO is closely related to Kauto Star and has solid claims of achieving a four-timer. Out of a three-parts sister to the UK champion, the selection’s progression has been gradual and while his form dipped after an initial 2023 hat-trick, has been in excellent form recently. He can cope with an 8lb hike for winning at Kilbeggan and is again ridden by his 7lb claimer. Ballybawn Belter ran well on her seasonal reappearance at Gowran recently and should again compete while capable Buddy One finished sixth in the Galway Plate but has plenty weight. Millforce finished second in a four-runner chase at Fairyhouse 15 days ago.
