FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A Grade 1 winner when in the care of Willie Mullins, Augusta Kate has proved equally as talented as a broodmare for Kevin Doyle, and is represented here by both COUSIN KATE and Baby Kate. The rapidly progressing Denis Hogan-trained former has won her last three and after landing a valuable prize at the Dublin Racing Festival on her latest start, she'll be well-fancied to continue her winning run. In truth, none of the seven can be safely ruled out and this is testament to the fact Pebble Bleu, the lowest rated runner in the line-up, beat the selection when they clashed at Tramore in December. A disappointing fourth of five when last seen at Doncaster, World Of Fortunes will be well-fancied to bounce back, while Galmoy Hurdle fourth Lantry Lady and the aforementioned Baby Kate are other leading contenders
