Going - Yielding to Soft, Soft in places. Fine

Formscan By Michael Graham - BAL KAUTO's third place in a higher grade at Galway in October reads well after the runner-up took a valuable contest at Limerick over Christmas by 11 lengths. He is on a competitive mark with Michael Kenneally claiming 7lb. Al Kalila has had two runs in good handicap chases over further at Kelso where he finished second and third. It is notable that he won his maiden hurdle over an extended 2m4f in Ayr, so he ought to show up well. Soloman Lane held on by a head in Navan last month and a 4lb rise is far from insurmountable for the 11-year-old gelding, while Koori Star is a handicap debutant to note in the market.
