FormscanBy Gary Carson - Getting his head in front should have given BALLINLOUGH GALE a nice confidence boost and he may be able to follow up back in handicap company. The Pat Martin-trained gelding had nine placed efforts to his name before running out a convincing winner over almost a mile-and-six here at the start of the month. Dropping back in trip would be a slight concern but he has plenty of form over shorter in the past and looks versatile. Silent Performance is the other last time out winner in the field and has to be respected after just a 3lb rise for her victory at Down Royal earlier in the month. Jo March wasn't beaten far when fourth at Naas last time and looks another to consider off the same mark.%0A
