FormscanBy Michael Graham - BALKO DES FLOS should take plenty of beating. He is comfortably the highest rated in this field on 169 and goes on this ground. His last three races have come in Grade One company with form figures of 214 - the victory coming in the Ryanair at this year's Cheltenham Festival. This is his seasonal reappearance having been off since Aintree in April, however, he has won off a break before (in last year's Galway Plate). He was beaten into second in this race last year by A Toi Phil but can get his revenge today. A Toi Phil knows how to get his head in front as he hunts his ninth career success. He receives 2lb from Balko Des Flos but is rated 13lb inferior. In addition, he would prefer a bit of cut. The last time he raced on good ground he was beaten into fourth by Balko Des Flos in the Galway Plate of 2017. Ballyoisin is in a rich vein of form as he chases a four-timer. This ground is right up his street and with a mark of 157 he can make his presence felt. Peregrine Run is more than capable of getting in the mix on ground he will love. He is one from one at Gowran Park. Woodland Opera has a bit to find on ratings over fences but is in good form and is often in the money, so there are much worse 16/1 each-way bets.
