Going - Soft to Heavy (Hurdle), Soft (Chase). Overcast
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Alan Magee - BAL KAUTO gets the vote despite being off the track nearly two years since completing a hat-trick in the space of just over three weeks. The Declan Queally-trained gelding landed a 2m3f Limerick handicap hurdle before two easy wins over fences and his hurdle mark remains at a lowly level. Market support would greatly increase confidence, while others to consider include Love Me and Love Like This. The former won a 23-runner Navan handicap over this trip and has been given a break since disappointing at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting, while Aboy Joey and Glorytogod Tom are others for the shortlist.
