Forecasts

Balko Des Flos (7/4), A Toi Phil (15/8), Peregrine Run (11/4), Ballyoisin (9/2), Woodland Opera (5/1), Ordinary World (13/2), Jury Duty (7/1), Don't Touch It (12/1), Ballycasey (16/1), Rock The World (33/1)

Verdict

Ryanair Chase winner Balko Des Flos returns to action here for Henry De Bromhead and should have plenty to say for himself this term. He was beaten in this race last year, after winning the Galway Plate, and might be vulnerable on his seasonal bow. BALLYOISIN has been progressing over fences and will ensure an end-to-end test is offered. Enda Bolger's charge can take this from the front. Last year's winner A Toi Phil is always respected and should go well for the in-form Elliott string while Peregrine Run is perhaps best of the rest.
